Abstract

The plane-wave shielding effectiveness is typically measured for horizontal and vertical polarizations using a linearly polarized antenna. However, this typical measurement method results in big evaluation fees due to very long measurement time as well as huge idle space for maintenance, these problems is more severe especially in large shielded enclosures such as EMP protection facilities to be built in indoor buildings and underground. This paper describes the design and fabrication process and results of a planar log-spiral antenna applicable to the evaluation of the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a large EMP protection facility. Since the proposed antenna has a circular polarization, there is no need to separately measure the horizontal and vertical polarizations. Therefore, the measurement time can be shortened by more than 1/2, and further, its small volume with a planar structure can reduce greatly idle space required for the maintenance.

평면파 차폐효과는 전형적으로 선형편파 안테나를 사용하여 수평 및 수직 선형 편파에 대해 각각 측정한다. 그러나 이러한 전형적인 측정방법은 실내 건축물 및 지하 공간에 건설되는 고출력 전자기파 방호시설과 같은 대형 차폐구조물의 경우 매우 긴 측정시간에 따른 시험평가 비용과 사후관리 평가를 위한 큰 유휴 공간으로 인한 손실 등을 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 고출력 전자기파 방호시설의 전자파 차폐효과 평가에 적용 가능한 평면형 로그-스파이럴 안테나의 설계 및 제작 과정 및 결과를 기술한다. 이 안테나는 원 편파를 가지므로 수평 및 수직편파를 따로 측정할 필요가 없으므로 측정시간을 1/2 이상 단축할 수 있고, 나아가서 평면형 구조를 가지므로 시험에 필요한 유휴공간을 크게 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.
