| dc.description.abstract | Electromagnetic shielding is becoming more and more important with the
abundance of wireless devices. Therefore a need has arisen for more versatile, flexible
and low-cost solutions for shielding. For these requirements, carbon microfiber
material has been proposed for electromagnetic shielding applications. For this
purpose its shielding effectiveness has been measured and modeled in a simulation
environment. A parametric simulation was conducted for the material property
’conductivity’ and the results were compared to measured ones. These simulation
results were also verified by the analytical solution for the shielding effectiveness and
the agreement between the simulated values and analytical results demonstrated that
the carbon microfiber material, though having less conductivity than the traditional
metallic shields is a good candidate for electromagnetic shielding applications. Carbon
microfiber not only provides comparable shielding effectiveness to a metallic shield but
it can be advantageous because of its light weight, corrosion resistance and flexibility.
Also, its porous nature can help with cooling of enclosed electronic circuits. | en_US |
