Electromagnetic Shielding Tests on a Room Shielded with Foil-Faced Foam Board

摘要

Conventional electromagnetic shielded construction is relatively expensive. One possible approach to decreasing the cost of this type of construction would be to provide shielding through commercial construction materials and techniques with slight alterations. A readily available material that might work for this concept is foil-faced foam board. An experimental room shielded with this material was subjected to radiated electromagnetic shielding tests and Shielded Enclosure Leak Detector System (SELDS) tests. The results indicate that a low to medium-performance shielded room can be obtained when this technology is used with reasonable care.
