Parameter Study of Reflection Reduction by Impedance Grids.

Abstract

Electromagnetic reflection from the walls of the vacuum chamber of a satellite simulator may be reduced by placing one or more grids of wires having known impedances just inside the conducting wall. This report presents the results of a parameter study on the effect of wire spacing and wire resistance and inductance on the frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient of a wall with such a grid in front of it. This data should be useful in helping to choose good values of the design parameters of reflection reducing grids in satellite simulators. (Author)
