In the interference phase, the EM field has the form of temporally and spatially varying pulse-like interference (size-limited) patterns of the associated electric and magnetic fields. In the wave phase, the EM field is generated in the form of so-called primary and secondary wave pulses, traveling towards the enclosure rear wall. We call these two phases the wave phase and the interference phase. They revealed the existence of two unknown phases of the EM field build-up in the enclosure with aperture. The presented images, showing the EM field morphology over a relatively long period of time, were crucial for understanding the EM field build-up process inside the shielding enclosure with aperture. This is 58 times longer than the time needed by any EM wave to travel the distance between the front and rear walls of the enclosure. The novelty of this study was 2D and 3D images, which visualized the temporal and spatial build-up of electric and magnetic fields in the shielding enclosure within 90 ns after the transient interference. The maximum pulse power density was 2.68 GW/m2. The interference pulse had Gaussian distribution of the electric and magnetic fields with amplitudes of 106 V/m and 2.68♱03 A/m, respectively. In this paper, the results of a numerical study of the temporal and spatial development of the electromagnetic (EM) field in a shielding enclosure with aperture after transient interference caused by a subnanosecond high-energy EM plane wave pulse are presented. This is 58 times longer than the time needed by any EM wave to travel the distance between t.Ī proper assessment of the shielding effectiveness of an enclosure with aperture under subnanosecond transient interference requires a better understanding of the coupling and development mechanisms of the EM field induced inside the enclosure.
