Shielding for EMC

How to quickly and cost-effectively design good EMC Shielding, from DC to 10+GHz. using conductive areas and volumes (e.g. enclosures), including PCB-mounted shields.

All well-proven (34+ years), future-proof, practical design techniques, described in plain English suitable for all electrical/electronic engineering graduates, or similar.

Six chapters, each taking about half an hour.

Includes a powerful, well-proven, and simple shielding design technique for visualizing the flow of surface currents, which have a 1:1 relationship with their local EM fields.

This avoids having to use Maxwell's (or any) equations or field solvers when you don't need to consider every millimetre, gram, cent, etc., for special or critical applications.

These practical techniques are 'future-proof' because they are based on the wavelength at the highest frequency that needs to be managed for emissions or immunity. These techniques are easy to adapt to different EMC test standards or EM environments, using simple and well-proven practical methods described in my course Module 1: "The Basics of EMC", which is provided free on request.

What you will learn in this course

1
Introduction to Electromagnetic Shielding and Core Principles
Covering the basics of electromagnetic engineering, economic aspects of shielding, and the use of metal plates (image planes) for shielding. Also explores how shielded enclosures work and methods for shielding at DC and low frequencies.
2
Challenges in Shielding: Apertures, Resonances, and Penetrations
Addresses common shielding problems such as issues caused by apertures, box resonances, and conductor penetrations. Includes shielding techniques for sources in the near field.
3
Understanding RF Bonding: Techniques for Surface Current Control
Focuses on RF bonding with multiple bonds or conductive gaskets, keeping surface currents contained. Discusses the importance of mechanical stiffness for gasketing and sealing for rotary shafts.
4
RF Bonding in Practice: Military Enclosures, Conductive Paint, and Leak Prevention
Explores advanced shielding assembly techniques, including the use of gaskets in military enclosures and conductive paint. Covers shielding displays with shielded windows, clamshell enclosures, and addressing leakage caused by screwed fixings.
5
Specialized Shielding: Waveguides-Below-Cutoff and Display Protection
Covers waveguides-below-cutoff and their use for passing optical fibers and other non-conductors. Also discusses shielding displays with secondary shielded enclosures and shielded windows.
6
Comprehensive Shielding Solutions: Ventilation, Plastics, and Heat Sinks
Focuses on shielding ventilation and plastic enclosures, with alternatives like Board-Level Shields (BLSs). Also includes shielding for heatsinks, fitting wireless antennas to shielded products, preventing corrosion at RF bonds, and DIY testing for shielding effectiveness before hardware or software is ready.
