Abstract
A full-wave approach is proposed to evaluate the shielding performance of metallic rectangular double-stage cascaded enclosures with apertures. The analysis has been carried out by means of the mode-matching technique and the mixed potential integral equation solved with the Method of Moments. The effects of the dimension of enclosures, the orientation of apertures, the polarization direction of the incident wave, the aperture thickness and the high-order modes propagating in enclosures are taken into account. The accuracy of the proposed approach is validated by comparing with other methods and numerical simulation results can derive some conclusions: the shielding performance of cascaded enclosures is better than that of single-stage enclosures, the shielding effectiveness can be improved with increasing the distance between stages in the range, and the shielding performance of the double-stage enclosure with parallel-pattern apertures in horizontal polarization case is better than that in vertical polarization case.
