Definitions

  • the invention relates to electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for wires and cables.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • Electromagnetic shielding is often required to minimize noise and/or cross-talk in wires and cables, such that the data signal remains uncorrupted.
  • cables include twisted-pair cables, such as MIL-STD-1553, and coaxial cables, such as RG-316.
  • Wire harnesses and data bus cabling also often require EMI shielding.
  • Coaxial cables are used with RF, microwave, and millimeter wave components and are typically constructed, from interior to exterior, of an elongated conductive core (e.g. silver coated copper wire), a dielectric coating (e.g. Teflon), a second conductive layer for shielding (e.g. silver coated copper braid), and a jacket (e.g. fluorinated ethylene propylene).
  • the core conductor transmits electrical signals (electromagnetic waves) along its length.
  • the dielectric coating isolates electrically the conductive core from the shielding layer, creating a transmission line for the data signal to propagate.
  • the impedance of the cable can be tuned by varying the thickness of the dielectric layer.
  • the shielding reduces or suppresses the electromagnetic field that is generates around the conductive core when electrical current flows along the conductive core.
  • the shielding also reduces or eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI) from electromagnetic (EM) fields external to the data cable, to prevent "cross-talk" between data or signal cables. It is important to reduce and exclude any electronic noise from external EM fields to maintain the integrity of the data signal on the data cable.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • the jacket provides mechanical durability and integrity, and holds the sub-layers and members in place while insulating the cable.
  • the shielding tape consists typically of metallic tape and/or metallic braid, or metallic coated thermoplastic threads or films, and provides good low-frequency shielding effectiveness (> 60 dB below 1 GHz).
  • the drawbacks of metallic tapes and braids are their heavy basis weight, and a "skin effect", which reduces shielding performance at high frequencies (greater than 1-10 GHz).

  • Shielding effectiveness is the ratio of incident electric (and magnetic) field to the transmitted electric (and magnetic) field. Equation 1 shows the relationship(s) in decibels (dB), where E is electric field, H is magnetic field, and P is power.
  • the shielding effectiveness depends upon the thickness and electrical properties of the shielding material.
  • Equation (2) depicts the three losses which contribute to the total shielding effectiveness, where A is absorption losses, R is reflection losses, and B is correction factor. These losses (Equations 3, 5, and 7) can be modeled using plane wave shielding theory for reflection, absorption, and transmitted electromagnetic waves.
  • d is the thickness of the shield (m)
  • ⁇ is the skin depth (m).
  • the skin depth can be calculated as a function of frequency (Hz), shown in Equation 4, where ⁇ is the angular frequency (radian/s), ⁇ is the magnetic permeability of the material (H/m), and ⁇ is the electrical conductivity of the material (S/m).
  • Equation 7 outlines these correction factor losses. With large absorption loss, the correction factor is small; with small absorption loss, the correction factor is large.
  • Equation 8 shows the relationship between impedance of the shield tape and shielding effectiveness, where Z 1 is the open space impedance and Z 2 is the impedance of the shielding material. Low sheet resistance is desirable to increase shielding effectiveness.
  • Tensile strength can be measured in Newtons (N). Tensile strength is crucial to the manufacturing of shielded cables and wires, where automated systems wrap a stretched shielding tape in the processing of shielded wire or cable. The stronger the tensile strength, the more reliable and effective the shielding or wrapping process.
  • the use of a melt spun nonwoven as the carrier veil can provide a much stronger (higher tensile strength) veil than that of a wet-laid veil material.

  • a nonwoven CNT structure was used as a shield wrapping for a coaxial cable having a configuration of an RG-316 cable, with the nonwoven CNT structure shielding replacing the single or double Ag/Cu braid.
  • Several of the nonwoven CNT structures (P3, P4, and P6) were tested for shielding effectiveness, per ASTM D4935.
  • Figure 4 outlines the results of these panel tests.
  • the nonwoven (PI) CNT structure comprises SWCNTs (22 gsm) on a carbon fiber veil (7 gsm) made by the wet laid process described in the US provisional applications mentioned above.
  • Several configurations of a shield wrap for use on RG-316 configured conductors were made, using varying numbers of wrap layers.
  • FIG. 6 shows that a conventional double silver/copper braiding (RG-316) provides better shielding at low EM frequencies. As EM frequency increases, the effective diameter of the copper wires in the braid for conduction is reduced by the skin effect, and shielding performance decreases.
  • FIG. 7 shows that a conventional double silver/copper braiding (RG-316) provides better shielding at low EM frequencies. As EM frequency increases, the effective diameter of the copper wires in the braid for conduction is reduced by the skin effect, and shielding performance decreases. The low frequency performance can be increased by keeping one Ag/Cu braid and wrapping the CNT shield tape over said single braid.
  • Figure 8 compares the shielding effectiveness of a single braided RG-316 cable, a single braided RG-316 cable with 2 wraps of P4 CNT shield tape, a single braided RG-316 cable with 3 wraps of P4 CNT shield tape, and a double braided RG-316 cable.
  • Table C Figure 9) outlines a summary of P4 shielded RG-316 cables and weight savings compared to double braided RG- 316 CoTS. Adding a single wrap of P4 increases shielding effectiveness by ⁇ 20 dB and only adds 3% weight; adding 2 wraps of P4 yields shielding effectiveness greater than or equal to double braided RG-316 (> 200 MHz) with almost 25% weight savings.
