Abstract

The penetration of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF) into conducting enclosures via apertures is an EMI issue that is relevant to all aviation. The stories are numerous, of disrupted communications, disabled navigation equipment, etc., due to the effects of EM sources external to the aircraft. Here, the FDTD method is used to predict the shielding effectiveness of conducting enclosures with apertures, and the numerical results are compared with measurements. Several issues related to the FDTD analysis of highly resonant and high-quality factor (high-Q) structures, such as windowing and acceleration techniques, are examined and discussed.
