ABSTRACT:
A choke ring apparatus for attenuation of electromagnetic waves in a mobile platform fuselage includes a ground plane mounted on a surface of the fuselage. The choke ring has an axial circular window and a series of concentric circular ring segments on the ground plane arranged coaxially about the axis of the window. The circular ring segments extend from the ground plane. The ring segments defining at least one groove therebetween. The ring segments have a flat ridge at the edge, and each groove has a depth defined by a pair of adjacent ring segments. The width of the flat ridge surfaces and a width of the groove between adjacent ring segments are approximately equal. The depth of the groove is determined based on a predetermined resonant frequency, such that the choke ring apparatus selectively attenuates electromagnetic waves in a region of the resonant frequency when propagating through the window.
