Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electromagnetic compatibility, in particular to a real-time electromagnetic shielding effectiveness monitoring system and method based on multi-source sensing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electromagnetic shielding machine rooms need to maintain high shielding effectiveness (SE) for a long time, but the traditional monitoring method has obvious drawbacks. In terms of manual detection, periodic on-site tests are mainly conducted according to the national standard GB / T 12190-2021. The drawback of this method is that it cannot detect the performance degradation caused by deformation or material aging of the shielding body in real time. Existing monitoring equipment also has shortcomings, and most of them rely on a single cooperative signal source (such as a signal generator), and cannot use environmental electromagnetic signals (such as 5G and Wi-Fi signals) for all-weather monitoring. In terms of judgment, the traditional method only roughly judges the shielding effectiveness degradation by comparing the field strength, which is difficult to accurately locate the specific defect position, such as deformation of door gaps and waveguide openings, which brings great challenges to the stable operation and maintenance of electromagnetic shielding machine rooms.

[0065] where S ideal is the original reference signal generated by the transmitting end, corresponding to the complex form of the OFDM subcarrier, containing amplitude and phase; S received is the signal collected by the indoor probe array and demodulated by FFT; | | is the modulus of the complex number.
[0066] Step 4: If EVM > 5% or the attenuation exceeds the threshold, trigger the TDR positioning module to inject nanosecond-level pulses into the shield, and determine the defect position by the reflection peak time delay.
[0067] Step 5: Control the motor to drive the shielding door / window adjustment mechanism to compensate for the gap deformation.

[0079] Step 4: Analyze the frequency response dips of H(f) and, combined with the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, locate the shielding effectiveness weak areas.
[0080] Step 5: If the SE value of a certain frequency band is lower than the national standard requirement, start the drone equipped with an infrared thermal imager to scan the wall for deformation and determine the location and size of the deformation.

[0085] Learning module: LSTM network is deployed in the cloud to receive historical SE data and temperature and humidity sensor input.
[0086] The signal processing flow includes:
[0087] Step 1: In the non-cooperative source mode, collect multi-angle incident signals and construct the compressed sensing observation matrix:
[0088] y=ΦΨ S+n
[0089] where Φ is the sparse sampling matrix, Ψ S is the Fourier basis, n is the noise, including environmental noise and hardware noise.
[0090] Step 2: Reconstruct the outdoor signal using the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm, and calculate the daily average SE value.
[0091] Step 3: Start the cooperative source calibration at night to correct the system error monitored during the day.
[0092] Step 4: The LSTM network inputs the historical SE sequence to predict the decay trend in the next 3 months:
[0093] SE(t+Δt)=f LSTM (SE(t),T(t),Humidity(t))
[0094] where T(t) is the temperature time series data, Humidity(t) is the humidity time series data, and Δt is the prediction time span, here Δt = 3 months.
[0095] Step 5: Dynamically optimize the sensor layout through reinforcement learning, and turn off redundant probes to reduce power consumption.
