Abstract

In this article, the use of metal foams for shielding problems is investigated on the bases of an effective medium approach. Specifically, a shielding effectiveness analysis has been performed by modeling metal foams as a homogeneous medium described by a plasma dispersion profile.The suggested approach is experimentally validated demonstrating that metal foams behave like a plasma medium, with a plasma frequency in the microwave range. The proposed effective medium approach has also been implemented both with a proprietary and with a commercial full-wave simulator. Results demonstrate that, by using the plasma model, general electromagnetic analysis of metal foams can be performed with common simulators and with affordable computational efforts.
