Comparative Study of the Shielding Properties of Slotted Enclosure with Inner or Outer Excitations Using FEM

Finite element method (FEM) is employed in this paper to conduct the comparative study of the shielding properties of enclosure with outer and inner excitations. Plane wave is adopted for the outer excitation case while coaxial cable is utilized to model the inner excitation source. Moreover, the resonance phenomena of slotted enclosure under different excitation are studied in detail. Finally, some conclusions with regard to the relationships and distinctions between the inner and outer excitations for the same enclosure are proposed.
