Modified Sheet Inductance of Wire Mesh Using Effective Wire Spacing

This paper focuses on a new definition for an effective wire spacing parameter of a conductive mesh and the analysis of the wire meshes with relatively thick cross-sectional diameter of wire. The transmission coefficient has been calculated based on sheet impedance model, and a new effective wire spacing parameter is defined so that it makes possible to calculate the transmission coefficients of the wire mesh with thin as well as thick wires. The modified method agrees very well with the full-wave simulation for wide range of wire diameter to spacing ratios. In addition, the measurements have been carried out to validate the effective wire spacing parameter.
