Reference

Shielding Glossary

Key terms and definitions related to electromagnetic shielding technology.

Attenuation

The reduction in strength of an electromagnetic signal as it passes through a shielding material, measured in decibels (dB).

dB (Decibel)

A logarithmic unit used to measure attenuation. Higher dB values indicate better shielding performance.

EMI

Electromagnetic Interference - unwanted noise caused by electromagnetic fields that disrupts electronic equipment.

RFI

Radio Frequency Interference - electromagnetic interference specifically in the radio frequency spectrum.

SCIF

Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility - a secure room for handling classified information.

Shielding Effectiveness

A measure of how well a material reduces electromagnetic field strength, expressed in dB.

Conductive Gasket

A sealing material that maintains electrical continuity across joints while providing environmental protection.

Faraday Cage

An enclosure that blocks electromagnetic fields, named after scientist Michael Faraday.

Ground Plane

A conductive surface used as a reference point for electrical circuits and shielding.

Penetration

An opening in a shielded enclosure for cables, pipes, or ventilation that must be properly treated.

Transfer Impedance

A measure of how much voltage is induced on a conductor due to external electromagnetic fields.

Anechoic Chamber

A room designed to absorb reflections of sound or electromagnetic waves for testing purposes.
