Modeling & Simulation Analysis for evaluation of Electromagnetic Sheilding Effectiveness of Conductive Fabrics using Flanged Co-axial Transmission Line Holder as per ASTM D4935-10 standard

In recent years, Conductive Fabrics have been enormous demand in variety of applications which includes defense, industry, aircraft, wireless communication and consumer sectors. The conductive fabrics offers shielding against the intentional & un-intentional electromagnetic radiations. In this paper, we modelled the (FCTLH) as per ASTM D4935-10 Standard to measure the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of planar materials. Altair Hyper Works FEKO simulation software is used to model the CTLH and evaluated the S-parameters and VSWR. Four samples made from different material compositions are modeled in the software and computed the shielding effectiveness of these planar samples as per the standard.
