Shielding

Shielding is a technique used to protect sensitive electronic equipment or areas from interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves or electromagnetic fields. It involves surrounding or enclosing the device with materials like metal or conductive fabric that can block or absorb unwanted signals. This prevents external noise from disrupting the device’s operation or prevents emissions from affecting other nearby devices. Shielding is essential in environments like hospitals, laboratories, and communication facilities to ensure accurate operation, security, and safety of electronic systems.
