Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) reduces electronic signal integrity and strength which can cause disturbances and poor performance in sensitive communication systems and devices. EMI/RFI Shielding reduces electronic malfunction susceptibility by blocking unwanted external electromagnetic waves or preventing internal electromagnetic waves from emitting and interfering other circuits or devices.
EMI/RFI Shielding solutions balance electrical conductivity, dielectric permittivity, magnetic permittivity, and physical geometry to inhibit the transmission of EMI/RFI. Generally, shielding first deflects electromagnetic waves with reflective surfaces which then heats the shield, making moderate electrical and thermal conductivity important characteristics of an EMI/RFI Shield.
