Abstract

This article presents a simple formula and graph useful for predicting the transmission loss of a circular hole array in a metallic flat plate having either a 60- (staggered) or 90-deg (square) hole pattern. The formula is restricted to the case of an obliquely incident plane wave with the E-field polarized normal to the plane of incidence. The theoretical formula was experimentally verified by testing samples having hole diameters varying from 1.6 to 12.7 mm, porosities varying from 10 to 51%, and plate thicknesses varying from 0.08 to 2.3 mm. The agreement between theory and experiment was typically better than 1 dB at S-band and 2 dB at X-band.
