    摘要: The invention includes a dust mitigation device that utilizes electromagnetic waves to protect devices from dust deposition. The device includes a nonconducting (dielectric) material separating at least one electrode, and in some embodiments a plurality of electrodes, from a grounded layer. The electrodes are connected to a single phase AC signal or a transient voltage signal. In some embodiments the grounded layer is created using a continuous conductor or a conductive grid. In some embodiments, the dielectric, the electrodes, and/or the grounded layer are transparent. The electromagnetic fields produced by the electrodes lift dust particles away from the shield and repel charged particles. Deposited dust particles are removed from the dust mitigation device when the electrodes are activated, regardless of the resistivity of the dust. The invention further includes a method of mitigating dust using such components.
