Analytical method for electromagnetic coupling to a penetrated transmission line in cascaded multiple enclosures with hybrid apertures.

An efficient analytical model has been developed for predicting the electromagnetic (EM) field coupling to a lossless transmission line (TL) penetrating through cascaded multiple rectangular enclosure with hybrid apertures (apertures with and without conductive sheets coexist) excited by an external plane wave of oblique incidence. First, The EM field in the enclosure through apertures covered by conductive sheets is derived using the dyadic Green's function and the transfer impedance of the sheet. Then, the EM field in the enclosure through apertures without sheets is derived based on the Bethe's small holes theory and the mirror procedure. Finally, the electric current induced at the TL terminals is obtained combining the equivalent lumped-pi circuit model of the TL and the Agrawal's model. The analytical model has been successfully verified by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method over the frequency range of 0.1 ~ 3 GHz, which consumes less time than numerical methods.
