EMI from slots and apertures resulting from coupling of interior sources through enclosure cavity modes in a Sun S-1000 workstation was investigated. The excitation of a specially designed rectangular enclosure with a slot was also studied experimentally and with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The radiated power results for both the S-1000 and simple rectangular enclosure indicate that radiation at cavity mode resonance frequencies through slots and apertures can be as significant as at aperture or slot resonances. A decrease of the radiation through the slots and apertures can be achieved by employing a lossy material in the enclosure.

High clock frequencies and short-edge rates in present high-speed digital systems result in EMI problems at increasingly higher frequencies. At these speeds, clock harmonics have sufficient energy in the range above 500 MHz to excite cavity modes of a conducting enclosure, and to drive even small length slots and apertures that are unavoidable in a practical design, and can result in an EMI problem. One approach to mitigate these problems is to partition the enclosure into several smaller internal shielded compartments. To study the factors which affect this partitioning, a special enclosure that can be divided into two internal compartments …


Numerical And Experimental Corroboration Of An Fdtd Thin-Slot Model For Slots Near Corners Of Shielding Enclosures, Min Li, Kuang-Ping Ma, David M. Hockanson, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren Aug 1997

Simple design maxims to restrict slot dimensions in enclosure designs below a half-wave length are not always adequate for minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Complex interactions between cavity modes, sources, and slots can result in appreciable radiation through nonresonant length slots. The finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method can be employed to pursue these issues with adequate modeling of thin slots. Subcellular FDTD algorithms for modeling thin slots in conductors have previously been developed. One algorithm based on a quasistatic approximation has been shown to agree well with experimental results for thin slots in planes. This FDTD thin-slot algorithm is compared herein …

Subcellular modeling of thin slots in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is investigated. Two subcellular algorithms for modeling thin slots with the FDTD method are compared for application to shielding end osures in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The stability of the algorithms is investigated, and comparisons between the two methods for slots in planes, and slots in loaded cavities are made. Results for scattering from a finite-length slot in an infinite plane employing one of the algorithms are shown to agree well with published experimental results, and power delivered to an enclosure with a slot agree well with results measured for …
