Cavity Modes in a Shielding Enclosure
Ms. Lis box: This shielding enclosure shows electromagnetic interference (EMI) from a slot, caused by the coupling of the internal source with cavity modes. Measured results have been compared with a FDTD calculation by M. Li, J. Nuebel, J.L. Drewniak, R.E. DuBroff, T.H. Hubing and T.P. Van Doren in: \"EMI from Cavity Modes of Shielding Enclosures - FDTD Modeling and Measurements\", IEEE Trans. on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 42, 1, Feb. 2000.
This topic is of particular interest in the field of high speed digital design because the effectiveness of shielding enclosures is reduced by apertures for heat dissipation, cable penetrations, CD ROM slots and other openings. The authors demonstrated the usefulness of FDTD for the calculation of these problems. We have recalculated the structure with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO™ and got excellent results. Thanks to PBA, just a few mesh points are needed for the modeling of the coaxial conductor and the slot.

Figure 2: Publication and MWS result
Delivered Power: measured (black line) and calculated (black dotted line), by Li et al., and calculated with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (by CST MWS). Good results can be achieved using a coarse grid with 28,000 nodes within 9 minutes (green line). If the accuracy requirements are higher, excellent results can be achieved using a finer grid within 35 minutes. In both cases an auto regressive filter function (AR filter) has been used in order to reduce the necessary calculation time. The CST MWS calculation has been performed on a Pentium II processor with 400 MHz clock rate. The files used for the calculations can be sent to CST customers on request.

Li et al. also calculated (dotted black line) and measured (black line) the electric field strength 3m away from the shielding cavity. Again the CST MWS results show very good agreement. CST would like to thank Dr. Caniggia at ITALTEL, Milano, for providing these results. The Italian telecommunication provider uses CST MWS for EMC problems.

In this article, CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® is used to illuminate an infinite dielectric half-space with a uniform plane wave and the reflection and transmission quantities are obtained. This problem has an analytical solution which serves to validate the simulation. The same procedure is then applied to a more generalized geometry which lacks a known analytical solution.
