Abstract

With the increase wireless communications, many wireless devices and equipment have been invented for special applications, resulting in mutual interference that might destroy the systems or distort signal in-transmission. One of the effective methods to reduce or eliminate interference is to devise a shielding to block the unwanted interference in between the approaching systems, circuits, devices, etc. Thus, shielding and estimation of its effectiveness are very important in order to protect the information devices from potential interference and to improve the performance of information equipment. In this survey, we present the recent developments of the shielding and shielding effectiveness techniques and methods, and give a design for an electromagnetic shielding structure.
