Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Performance of Shield Ground Adapters and Composite Materials

Abstract

Long Term EMI Performance of Several Shield Ground Adapters (presented by David S. Dixon) proved that, if the degradation caused by the kickpipe threads can be reduced, a new technology shield ground adapter (SGA), with a solid shield contractor, will ensure the highest long term SGA performance, thereby reducing below-decks electro-magnetic (EM) levels caused by EMI/electromagnetic pulse (EMP) cable currents. Development of a Full Performance Composite Connector with Long Term EMI Shielding Properties (presented by James V. Masi) discusses development of a full MIL-SPEC connector made from composite materials that was designed to satisfy a full range of EM, chemical, and mechanical properties. A mathematical model was developed to give a basis for predicting some of the EM properties of a composite material.
