A pulse method to estimate the efficiency of shielding magnetic fields

Abstract

A method for experimental evaluation of the magnetic-field attenuation coefficients under a pulsed action is considered. A technique for the preliminary processing of measurement results for low useful signal-to-noise ratios is considered taking the features of the operation of digital oscilloscopes into account. The analysis of the spectral composition of measured signals and a method for their approximation in the time domain, which allows elimination of the influence of measuring-sensor noise and digital-oscilloscope rounding errors, are presented. The results of estimating the frequency dependence of the magnetic-field attenuation coefficients for a copper shield in comparison with the results of a theoretical calculation are presented. The considered method allows simultaneous determination of the coefficients of the magnetic-field attenuation by the shield in a wide frequency range.
