Abstract
In this paper, the effect of corrosion on the degradation of electromagneti c interference (EMI) shielding enclosures in terms of transfer impedance is discussed. To provide a relationship between the transfer impedance and co rrosion, an equivalent circuit model for gasketed EMI shielding barriers wa s developed and the transfer impedance of zinc-coated steel-plate enclosure s at de and 100-kHz frequency was measured. The results suggest a way of pr edicting transfer-impedance increase based on corrosion-induced resistance change.
