Time-Domain Shielding Performance of Enclosures: A Comparison of Different Global Approaches

The analysis of the shielding performance is conducted on the basis of the classical IEEE Standard 299, which is typically a local and frequency-domain approach, may be not sufficient for the thorough appraisal of protection levels achievable through actual enclosures in the presence of transient electromagnetic fields. Stemming from a victim point of view, a new, global approach is proposed for the assessment of average and minimum guaranteed shielding performance directly in the time domain, in the presence of either near fields or plane waves. The method is suitable for the analysis of all the typical transient EMI phenomena and recommended for the analysis of protection levels of mission-critical devices or systems. An elementary statistical analysis of performance data is also presented.
