Jeff Tostenrude of 3M Company

In this work we utilize different electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments to test near field absorber performance as well as absorber placement. We use in-house designed test fixtures to mimic some of the real-world EMI environments: shield cans and metal shielding screens. The near field test results are compared to the reflection loss, one of the most used absorber metrics.
