Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, and in particular relates to a shielding effectiveness testing system for an electronic equipment shell structure. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic equipment functions and applications in recent years, the number and variety of electronic devices in equipment have reached unprecedented levels. Electromagnetic compatibility testing standards clearly define maximum limits for radiated emissions from electronic equipment. Electromagnetic shielding is one of the primary means by which electronic equipment can suppress electromagnetic interference. Due to safety and structural strength requirements, some electronic product housings are often made of metal. Electromagnetic principles show that a material's electromagnetic shielding capability is related to its conductivity. Common metals generally have higher electrical conductivity, resulting in stronger electromagnetic shielding capabilities. With advancements in material production and processing technologies, composite materials are increasingly being used in electromagnetic shielding, even partially replacing sheet metal as the primary component of electronic device housings. Furthermore, the shielding properties of composite materials with different structures differ from those of pure composite flat panels. Recent research and field testing have also revealed that different modulation waveforms can have different sensitivity characteristics to a device. While shielding characteristics are simply considered in the frequency domain, the introduction of modulation signals allows for a more intuitive and effective assessment of the shielding capabilities of composite structured products.
[0003] Shielding effectiveness is a key indicator of a material's or structure's electromagnetic shielding capabilities. From a computational electromagnetics perspective, understanding a material's key electromagnetic parameters, such as conductivity (σ), dielectric constant (ε), and magnetic permeability (μ), allows calculation of the shielding effectiveness of the material or structure through simulation modeling and application scenarios. However, in actual research and production, accurate material electromagnetic parameters cannot be obtained, or the material's complex load conditions and application scenarios complicate simulation modeling. Therefore, experimental testing remains an irreplaceable means of shielding effectiveness assessment.
[0004] However, existing shielding effectiveness measurements generally use a single-frequency sine wave to evaluate shielding effectiveness. This is somewhat convincing for the evaluation of a single material, but rarely evaluates different types of modulated signals. Summary of the Invention
