 Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetic shielding is the process of limiting the flow of electromagnetic fields between two locations, by separating them with a barrier made of conductive material.
Electromagnetic shielding used to block radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding.
One example is a shielded cable, which has electromagnetic shielding in the form of a wire mesh surrounding an inner core conductor.

 About magnetic and electromagnetic shielding solutions.
Today, we are able to shield both AC and DC magnetic interference, either at the source or at the location of the sensitive component through the use of specially processed Magnetic Shielding Materials.
When shields need to operate in very high magnetic field environments such as those in close proximity to electric arc furnaces or large superconducting magnets, the saturation of materials is a concern.
This "buffer" shield and the added attenuation due to the spacing of the air gap should reduce the source field to a level where it is safe to use high permeability materials without the fear of saturation.

 Harmonization of Shielding-Effectiveness Standards for Enclosures
Shields function on the basis of two major electromagnetic phenomena: reflection from a conducting surface and absorption in a conductive volume.
Reflection from a shield results when the impedance of the wave in free space is different from the impedance of the electromagnetic wave in the barrier.
Because shielding effectiveness is the accepted criterion for assessing the performance of a material or enclosure to attenuate electromagnetic fields, it is important to have standardized test methods to measure it.

 Electromagnetic wave shielding panels and wall structure - Patent 5008486
An improved electromagnetic wave shielding panel and wall structure includes a plate member of electrically nonconductive material and an electrically conductive foil applied to at least one surface thereof, with an electrically conductive net laid on the electrically conductive foil with its fringe portion extending beyond the edge of the plate member.
This third type of shielding room has a continuous copper foil surface on the surrounding wall, and therefore a decreased impedance field in which the magnetic field is predominant, will induce eddy currents, in the electrically conductive wall to cancel the effect of the arriving magnetic field.
The net flange portions of the electromagnetic wave shielding panels are laid in the slots so that the net fringe portions extending beyond the edges of one surfaces of the electromagnetic wave shielding panels are separated and electrically isolated from those extending beyond the edges of the other surfaces of said electromagnetic wave shielding panels.

 Frequently asked questions about mumetal magnetic shielding alloy
All shielding materials work by diverting the magnetic flux to themselves, so although the field from a magnet will be greatly reduced by a shield plate, the shield plate will itself be attracted to the magnet.
Magnetic shielding materials offer a very high permeability path for magnetic field lines, directing the electromagnetic energy through the thickness of the alloy, and keeping the electromagnetic field from going where it is not wanted.
It is important that the shield offers a complete path for the field lines, so that they do not exit the material in a place where they will cause unintended interference.

 Electro magnetic shielding solutions start with magnetic shields
Shield calculation formulas do exist to help solve electro magnetic shielding problems, but are usually valid only for theoretical conditions of closed shield shapes and well-described interference fields.
The attenuation of a magnetic shield is the ratio of the measured magnetic field before shielding to the field measured after shielding is applied.
For example, if the field before shielding is 450 milligauss, and the field measured inside the shield is 10 milligauss, the attenuation ratio is 450/10 or 45 times.

Shielding Theory - Basics Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the inter-relationship between various electrical/electronic systems within a component as well as the relationship between the component and the electromagnetic environment.
Shielding When a wave encounters an object some energy will be reflected, some will be absorbed (converted to heat and create residual internal current flow) and a certain amount will leak through.
Shielding effectiveness is a measure of the attenuation or reduction of energy across a component or test piece.

 Magnetic Radiation Shielding: An Idea Whose Time Has Returned? - G.Landis (1991)
The concept of magnetic shielding using superconducting coils for space vehicles was first discussed by Levy [2] and analyzed in some detail in the 1960's and early 1970's [3,4,5,16,17], but was not pursued, primarily because there were no plans for long-duration manned flights which would benefit from such a shield.
Magnetic radiation shielding received a brief resurgence of attention in the late 1970's, when the concept of large space colonies was introduced by O'Neill, as an alternative to simple mass shielding for the large populations envisioned [6,7].
A solution proposed by Levy and Janes [10, 11] is a hybrid of the magnetic shield and the electrostatic shield, the "plasma shield." An electrostatic charge is applied to the vehicle (or habitat) shell to repel the positively charged radiation; a magnetic field then prevents the plasma electrons from discharging the vehicle.

Shielding from EMI/RFI is done for two primary reasons: (1) to keep electronic device from interfering with others and (2) to keep other devices from interfering with yours.
There are three essential routes to making a shielded plastic enclosure; the polymer can be made conductive by adding fillers, thin metal plates or foils bonded to the enclosure, or the surface of the enclosure can be coated with a conducting film.
By far, the most common means of shielding an enclosure is to apply a conductive paint to the surface of the enclosure.

 Solve magnetic interference problems with magnetic shields.
Magnetic Shield Corporation, a division of Perfection Mica Company, is the premier supplier of custom magnetic shields, room and wall EMF shields and magnetic shielding material.
Magnetic shielding, (also known as magnetic shields, magnetic screens and EMI shielding), prevents magnetic fields from reaching areas where they would cause magnetic interference.
Magnetic shielding is used around either the source of interference, to prevent electromagnetic radiation from leaving a device; or more typically, around a sensitive device, to prevent the electro magnetic interference from disrupting normal operations.

Shielding ability equals that of a larger mass of aluminum.
Lightweight shields for electromagnetic interference (EMI) can now be fabricated from composites of (1) electrically conductive fibers made of bromine-intercalated graphite in (2) matrices of electrically conductive epoxy.
However, those shields were not as effective as aluminum shields because of the lack of electrical conductivity in the epoxy (especially in surface layers).

 Materials for EM Shielding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
With the rapid advances and broad implementation of computer and telecommunication technologies there is increased interest in shielding of electromagnetic radiation, especially in the radio and microwave frequency ranges.
The usual shielding techniques focus on the use of standard metals and their composites, which have disadvantage due to limited mechanical flexibility, heavy weight, corrosion, and difficulty of tuning the shielding efficiency.
Conducting polymers are promising materials for shielding electromagnetic radiation and reducing or elimination of electromagnetic interference (EMI) because of their relatively high conductivity and dielectric constant and ease of control of these properties through chemical processing [1].

A Faraday cage is a hollow metal conductor that blocks electric fields and/or electromagnetic radiation (light, microwaves, etc).
The hole size you can have in a shield has to be very small compared to the wavelength of the EM waves you are trying to block.
