Fast shielding effectiveness prediction for realistic rectangular enclosures

A fast, semianalytical method to predict the shielding in the low-frequency and multiresonant region of realistic enclosures with many small apertures is presented. The method is based on previous work by Mendez. The validity of an often used rule of thumb for arrays of apertures is discussed and a comparison with full-wave method of moment simulations is provided.
