Abstract

This paper details the simulation and measurement of low frequency (LF) magnetic field shielding by open surface structures. The approach of this paper is to develop equivalent electric sheet impedance boundary conditions for use by LF surface based electric field integral equation (EFIE) solvers. From these sheet impedance forms, a figure of merit is developed to determine the boundary condition applicability. Next, transmitting and receiving coil designs are analyzed and modifications are made to eliminate shield currents in measurement. Finally, simulated and measured magnetic field shielding is compared for electrically small open surface material disks.
