Abstract

The emphasis of this work is to apply finite element techniques at cutoff to the analysis of a two-dimensional structure to examine the notion of shielding effectiveness issues in a reverberating environment. Simulated mechanical stirring is used to obtain the appropriate statistical field distribution. The shielding effectiveness in a simulated reverberating environment is compared to the results of a plane wave simulation and measurements in a reverberation chamber. The work is intended to provide further refinement in the consideration of shielding effectiveness in a complex electromagnetic environment
