Abstract
An improved technology of frequency-selective electromagnetic shields has been considered. The technology has been improved by embedding classic Archimedean helical elements made from foiled materials into the bulk of the shields for the improvement of the frequency-selective performance of the shields and pinning of these elements in the bulk of the shields by means of fusion bonding. These design features provide for the main advantage of the improved technology in comparison with counterparts, i.e., lower time consumption. The technology has been improved in the following two aspects: 1) identification of helical element parameters providing for the greatest energy loss of the UHF electromagnetic radiation interacting with the helical elements; 2) identification of the optimum helical element arrangement in the shield bulk providing for the smallest transmission and reflection coefficient of the UHF electromagnetic radiation by the shields. Technology improvement in accordance with the former of the above aspects has been achieved based on analysis of publications dealing with mathematical simulation and study of the parameters of UHF electromagnetic radiation transmission by planar helical antennas. Technology improvement in accordance with the latter aspect has been achieved based on experimental data. Test shields have been fabricated with specifically arranged embedded helical elements, and comparison has been made between the UHF electromagnetic radiation transmission and reflection coefficients of the shields. Shields fabricated in accordance with the improved technology suggested herein show good promise for the electromagnetic noise protection of electronic devices.
