    This paper first introduces the structure of a shipboard equipment control cabinet and the preliminary design of electromagnetic shielding, then introduces the principle of low-frequency magnetic field shielding, and uses silicon steel sheet to shield the low-frequency magnetic field of shipboard equipment control equipment. Based on ANSYS Maxwell simulation software, the low-frequency magnetic field radiation emission of the equipment's conducted harmonic peak frequency point is simulated. Finally, according to MIL-STD-461G test standard, the low-frequency magnetic field radiation emission test is carried out, which meets the limit requirements of the standard. The low-frequency magnetic field shielding technology has practical value. The low-frequency magnetic field radiation emission simulation based on ANSYS Maxwell proposed in this paper is a useful attempt for the quantitative simulation of radiation emission.

    In recent years, High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) has become the most interesting topic for next generation mobile communication systems, because platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), balloons, airships can provide ultra-wide coverage, up to 200km in diameter, from altitudes of around 20 km. It also offers resiliency to damage caused by disasters and so ensures the stability and reliability of mobile communications. In order to further integrate HAPS with existing terrestrial mobile communication networks in providing mobile services to users, radio wave propagation models such as terrain, vegetation loss, human shielding loss, building entry loss, urban/suburban areas must be taken into consideration when designing HAPS-based cell configurations. This paper proposes a human body shielding propagation loss model that considers the basic signal attenuation by the human body at high elevation angles. It also analyzes the effect of changes in actual urban/suburban environments due to the arrival of multipath radio waves for HAPS communications in the frequency range of 0.7 to 3.3GHz. Measurements in actual urban/rural environments in Japan and actual stratospheric base station measurements in Kenya are carried out to confirm the validity of the proposed model. Since the measured results agree well with the results predicted by the proposed model, the model is good enough to provide estimates of human loss in various environments.

    This paper proposes a single coil active shielding method of wireless unmanned aerial vehicle charger for leakage magnetic field reduction. A proposed shielding system eliminates the leakage magnetic field generated from the transmitting and receiving coils by generating the cancelling magnetic field. In order to enhance shielding effectiveness and preserve power transfer efficiency, shielding coil design parameters including radius and turns will analyze. Based on the analysis of coil design, shielding effectiveness and power transfer efficiency will estimate. In addition, shielding current control method corresponding to leakage magnetic field strength and phase will describe. A proposed shielding system has verified by simulations and experiments in terms of the total shielding effectiveness and power transfer efficiency measurements. The simulation and experimental results show that a proposed active shielding system has achieved 68.85% of average leakage magnetic field reduction with 1.92% of power transfer efficiency degradation. The shielding effectiveness and power transfer efficiency variation by coil design has been experimentally verified.

    A single-flux-quantum (SFQ) arithmetic logic unit (ALU) was designed and tested to evaluate the effectiveness of introducing dynamically reconfigurable logic gates in the design of a superconducting logic circuit. We designed and tested a bit-serial SFQ ALU that can perform six arithmetic/logic functions by using a dynamically reconfigurable AND/OR gate. To ensure stable operation of the ALU, we improved the operating margin of the SFQ AND/OR gate by employing a partially shielded structure where the circuit is partially surrounded by under- and over-ground layers to reduce parasitic inductances. Owing to the introduction of the partially shielded structure, the operating margin of the dynamically reconfigurable AND/OR gate can be improved without increasing the circuit area. This ALU can be designed with a smaller circuit area compared with the conventional ALU by using the dynamically reconfigurable AND/OR gate. We implemented the SFQ ALU using the AIST 2.5kA/cm2 Nb standard process 2. We confirmed high-speed operation and correct reconfiguration of the SFQ ALU by a high-speed test. The measured maximum operation frequency was 30GHz.

    This paper presents the shielding effectiveness (SE) characteristics of a metallic wall with a narrow slot when exposed to a nearby dipole source or a plane wave. In order to characterize the dipole source SE, a radiation field, including the near field from the dipole source, is calculated. The results show that the dipole source SE depends on the source and field points. This SE is different from the plane wave SE in that it fluctuates with the position of the dipole source; the fluctuation period is about 0.5λ.

    Enclosures of electronic equipment are an important item to suppress the unwanted emissions from digital processing circuits. However, the shielding effect at high frequencies is decreased by slits and apertures of the enclosures. The method for evaluating shielding effect of enclosures above 1 GHz was investigated in this paper. A disc-cone antenna operated by an O/E converter was developed and the radiation property was calculated by the method of moment. The results indicated that the deviation between the calculation and the measurement value was within 3 dB in the case of that the antenna is operated in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 10 GHz. The antenna was placed in the enclosure model constructed with wire meshes and the shielding effects were calculated and measured from 1 GHz to 3 GHz. The results showed that the tendency of the calculated value closely agreed with that of the measured value. Using the antenna, the shielding effect of the PC cases were investigated from 1 GHz to 8 GHz. The results indicated that the shielding effect is decreased in proportion with the increase of frequency, and the careful design was important to maintain the shielding effect in this frequency range.

    The construction of EM absorber and frequency selective shielding has been investigated by using two dimensional metal fiber array (MFA) composites. The MFA composite shows a resonant type frequency dispersion in the complex relative permittivity spectra (εr = εr' - jεr") having a negative εr' region. The frequency characteristics of the conventional ferrite-rubber EM absorber can be improved by combining with the negative permittivity property of the MFA composite. A frequency selective shielding can be achieved by the evanescent EM wave propagation in the layered MFA composite structure.

    In this letter, a new CCM material, adding Ni powder to a conventional CCM, for X-band applications is designed and analyzed to improve the SE. To obtain the SE of the fabricated CCM accurately, material constants of the CCM of the permittivity and permeability were extracted using transmission/reflection measurements. Using the material constants derived from the measurement, the SE was calculated and the results were verified using a commercial full-wave three-dimensional electromagnetic wave simulator. The SE of the proposed the CCM was improved by approximately 4 dB in the X band compared to that of a conventional CCM. The CCM proposed in this paper can be applied as a shielding material as well as for housing of various communication systems and electrical instruments.

    In this paper, we design and manufacture a flanged double ridged waveguide with a tapered section as a sample holder for measuring the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE) of planar material in broadband frequency ranges up to 10 GHz. The proposed technique overcomes the limitations of the conventional ASTM D4935 test method at high frequencies. The simulation results for the designed sample holders agree well with the fabricated ones in consideration of the design specification of S11 < -20 dB within the frequency range of 1-10 GHz. To verify the proposed measurement apparatus, the measured SE data of the commercial shielding materials from 1 to 10 GHz were indirectly compared with those obtained from the ASTM D4935 from 30 MHz to 1 GHz. We observed that the SE data obtained by using both experimental techniques agree with each other.

    Crosstalk delay within an on-chip bus can induce severe transmission performance penalties. The Bus-grouping Asynchronous Transmission (BAT) scheme is proposed to mitigate the performance degradation. Furthermore, considering the distinct spatial locality of transition distribution on some types of buses, we use the locality to optimize the BAT. In terms of the implementation, we propose the Differential Counter Cluster (DCC) synchronous mechanism to synchronize the data transmission, and the Delay Active Shielding (DAS) to protect some critical signals from crosstalk and optimize the routing area overhead. The BAT is scalable with the variation of bus width with little extra implementation complexity. The effectiveness of the BAT is evaluated by focusing on the on-chip buses of a superscalar microprocessor simulator using the SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks. When applied to a 64-bit on-chip instruction bus, the BAT scheme, compared with the conservative approach, Codec and Variable Cycle Transmission (DYN) approaches, improves performance by 55+%, 10+%, 30+%, respectively, at the expense of 13% routing area overhead.

    This letter presents a method that offers the simple calculation of the electric shielding effectiveness of a collinear unequal narrow slot array in a planar conducting screen. An integral equation for an aperture electric field on the unequal narrow slot array is used instead of coupled integral equations for a multiple slot and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. Numerical results illustrate the shielding effectiveness and aperture electric field distributions of the collinear unequal two-narrow slot array by using single integral equation.

    This letter proposes a new bandpass shielding enclosure (BPSE) for modern handheld communication devices. This enclosure is characterized by high transmittance at the specified wireless signal band and high shielding effectiveness (SE) outside this band. In addition, it has little influence on the impedance-matching bandwidth and antenna patterns of an internal antenna embedded inside the device. A prototype was created, simulated and measured. The simulated and measured results demonstrate the promising performance of this newly proposed shielding enclosure.

    In this paper, we propose alternate self shielding to remove critical transitions of on-chip global interconnect. Our proposed method alternates shield and signal wires cycle by cycle. The conventional self-shielding methods need additional wires to remove critical transition by encoding. The proposed alternate self-shielding, however, requires no additional wires. We evaluate our method by simulating signal transimission with a circuit simulator. As a result, our proposed method is superior in bit rate compared to others from 10% to 75%.

    A new shielding evaluation setup for conductive O-rings is proposed. This setup consists of the holder with a groove to fix the O-ring position. There are two ways to apply O-rings in narrow gaps, cylinder-fixing and plane-fixing. With this holder shielding effects of the O-rings can be evaluated from 10 kHz to 1 GHz for both fixing types.

    To clarify the correspondence between Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of shielding materials and their physical property, we propose an equivalent circuit for a shielding effectiveness test apparatus using a dual TEM cell, and show its validity. By considering the structure of dual TEM cell that consists of a pair of cells coupled via an aperture in their common wall, we defined the capacitance C and mutual inductance M, that respectively express the electric coupling and magnetic coupling between two center conductors. By the measurement of unloaded S-parameter, we determined the values of C and M for a dual TEM cell in hand. Next, the shielding material was approximated by the apparent sheet resistivity Rs, and was used in the equivalent circuit of loaded aperture. As a result, the coupling level calculated from the equivalent circuit agreed well with the measured data in frequencies below 300 MHz.

    The effect of a grounded conductive sheet placed over a PCB with a microstrip line on the electromagnetic noise shielding is discussed experimentally and with FDTD modeling. The grounding position of the sheet, which is connected with the ground plane of PCB, is changed. In results, the resonance frequency is shifted by the grounding position, and reducing the resonance of the input impedance should make a more effective shielding for EM noise radiation below 1 GHz.

    We calculated the shielding characteristic of a three-dimensional array of strip conductors by using the electric field integral equation method and its expansion to an array structure. From reflection coefficients, the effective permittivity of the array is calculated. The effective permittivity becomes negative in the frequency range above resonance, in which the electromagnetic waves travel through the material in an evanescent mode and the transmission coefficient becomes very small.

    The use of metal-coated plastics is increasing as shielding materials of electronic and information products due to their lightweight. In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm, based on the derivation of a time-domain representation of the surface impedance of an equivalent resistive film, was developed to analyze the electromagnetic penetration of pulsed electromagnetic fields through metal-coated plastics. The validity of the proposed algorithm, in both the far-field and near-field cases, was verified by comparing the calculated penetrated electromagnetic fields or shielding effectiveness with theoretical and measured ones. Good agreement between them demonstrated the usefulness of the FDTD algorithm.

    This paper presents a novel algorithm for crosspoint assignment (CPA) that takes into consideration crosstalk noise and shielding effects in deep sub-micron design. We introduce a conditional constraint which is imposed on a sensitive net-pair to detach one net from the other or to put another insensitive net between them for shielding. We provide two algorithms which can handle the conditional constraint: One is based on an ILP, which outputs an exact optimum solution. The other is a fast heuristics whose time complexity is O(n2 log n), where n is the number of pins. In experiments, we tested these algorithms for industrial examples. The results showed that the conditional constraint for shielding released algorithms from a tight space of feasible assignments. Our heuristics ran quickly and attained near optimum solutions.

    In this paper, the amplitude coefficient in each mode of leakage waves is calculated by using the amplitude level of the electric field about these unwanted waves under Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) definition for measuring the leakage waves irradiated from door portion at the time of microwave oven manufacture, and the percentage of each mode included in leakage waves is also calculated by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Furthermore, shielding effectiveness (SE) of choke structure for suppressing the leakage waves is calculated using combined waves composed of higher order modes as each percentages. As a result, the percentage of each mode included in the leakage waves is examined quantitatively. The approximation analysis for the SE of the choke structure can also be carried out. Therefore, efficient method for evaluating the door structure of the oven at the time of manufacture has been established without the use of the memory in the calculation.
