Scott Piper

It’s fairly obvious to most that metallic enclosures can shield an item inside from electromagnetic energy but, of course, shielding discussions do not end there.  In this presentation Scott Piper will show the principles involved with EM shielding for static fields, low frequency fields, and high frequency fields along with electric and magnetic fields.  The effect of apertures and shielding materials will also be presented.  Results from electromagnetic simulations along with laboratory measurements and closed form expressions will be used to discuss these items.  This presentation would be appreciated by not only EMC engineers, but also electrical engineers in general but also mechanical engineers that work with EM shields.
