Analytical models can quickly obtain electromagnetic properties, but currently, there are few analytical algorithms for researching dielectric-embedded multilayer metal meshes. In this letter, an analytical model for the wideband shielding effectiveness of infinite dielectric-embedded multilayer metal meshes is presented. By modifying the multiple reflection loss in the multiconductor shielding theory and the total shielding effectiveness after filling multilayer metal meshes with the dielectric, it is possible to analyze the transmission characteristics of both multilayer metal meshes and dielectric-embedded multilayer metal meshes. The results show that the modified model provides good accuracy for the shielding effectiveness of infinite multilayer metal meshes and dielectric-embedded multilayer metal meshes, which is consistent with the results of computer simulation technology (CST) in a wide frequency range. Furthermore, the calculation of the presented analytical model is less than 3000 of the numerical algorithm.","PeriodicalId":73297,"journal":{"name":"IEEE microwave and wireless technology letters","volume":"35 2","pages":"141-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143403765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of modified split-ring resonators (SRRs) with unloaded Q-factor above 437 and 290, respectively, are utilized to construct the basic differential sensing elements. By arranging these elements with different sizes, a sensor array can be realized. Since the distinct resonant frequency of each element, multiple transmission zeros are included in the working range. Each resonance zero corresponds to an independent region of the material under test (MUT). Any local defect will cause a split in the corresponding resonant frequency. Therefore, detection results can be obtained simply by observing the split points in the resonance spectrum, eliminating the need for further calibration.
