Shielding
Objectives

To simulate and design an EMI Shield.

To select an appropriate material system and

carryout experimental design.

To measure the shielding parameters

(bsorption !oe"cient# $e%ection !oe"cient
and SE& variation 'ith (re)uency.

To use the simulated value as the guideline

(or the design and implementation o( an EMI
Shield over a range o( (re)uency.

EMI Shielding aims to shield a particular device

or 0one (rom the inter(erence1jamming via an
e2ective placement o( shielding materials so
as to reduce the level o( electromagnetic
energy radiated by or coupled into electronic
e)uipment.

EMI shielding re%ects# absorbs or redirects

electromagnetic 'aves to prevent inter(erence
(rom a2ecting sensitive e)uipment.

SE against electromagnetic (EM& 'aves
is measured in terms o( shielding
e2ectiveness (SE&.
It is de8ned as the ratio of the signal
received (from transmitter) without the
shield to the received signal )inside the
shield.

5ermittivity > The permittivity o( a

medium.

5ermeability > It is the degree o(

magneti0ation o( a material in
response to a magnetic 8eld.

It is represented by @AB.
