What are the applications of RF shielding? 



Electronic devices receive radio frequency signals and it has to be examined to ensure regulatory requirements. The emission of radio frequency signals can disturb the examination and measurement of the devices. Protecting these devices is important and RF shielded test enclosures are the solution for it.  

Radiation shielding blocks radio frequency interference and its construction involve an enclosure to reduce the electric and magnetic transmissions from one space to another.  This can save the functionality and performance of the computer devices.  

Copper, steel, and aluminum are mostly used for RF shielding.  The other raw materials are silver, beryllium, and polyamide depending on the form and structure of the application. 

RF shield boxes or RF shielded test enclosures are utilized in many applications such as base station transceivers, testing mobile phones, automotive multimedia, base station transceivers, WLAN/Bluetooth/ZigBee//WiMax devices, and Wireless semiconductors. 

Labifixx shield box gives advantages for the users to test devices in both the production stage and development because of its good reflectivity performance and high shielding performance of the absorber attached inside the shield box.  

RF shielding can be used in many fields that require RF protection and such applications are  

Hospital and Health Organizations 

  • MEG (MagnetoEncephaloGraphy) Measurements 

  • EMG (ElectroMyoGraphy) Measurements 

  • ECG ( ElectroCardioGraphy)Measurements 

  • EEG (ElectroEncephaloGraphy) Measurements 

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) rooms of hospitals 

Official and Government Organizations 

  • Intelligence security 

  • Security rooms for financial and bank organizations 

  • Security rooms especially for official buildings like police offices 

Test Laboratories 

  • Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave measurements 

  • Antenna measurements 

  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements and tests of electronic systems 

  • Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) measurements and tests of electronic products. 

 

 

 

 

Product development 

  • Developing electrical cables 

  • Developing new systems and electronic products used in defence, automotive, communication, space, railway, and many other industries. 

Textile 

  • Cell Phones pouches 

  • Credit Card Pouches 

  • Wearable shielded clothes 

  • Electronic toll pass pouches 

  • Shielded Tents 

RF shielding is also used to create an RF isolated test or measurement environment.  RF shielding materials can easily isolate the environment from RF signals. The disturbing signals are minimized, and RF enclosure or shielded rooms allow noise-free,  and disturbance-free tests.  In certain applications, RF shielded enclosures and rooms are required and used by standards.  Taking note of measurements in RF enclosures or shielded rooms will ensure accurate measurement results. 

Labifix includes sales, distribution, calibration of existing RF enclosures, Installation, project management & Onsite installation of RF shielding facilities and Equipment.

What is RF test equipment?

  Depending on the device being tested and the expected outcomes, RF testing can be extremely complex. To correctly set up and carry out the tests, the RF test enclosure needs particular tools and experience. What is automation in RF tests and measurements? RF test and measurement automation automatically manage RF device and circuit testing and measurement. This can be accomplished with hardware, software, or a mix of both. Automation decreases the cost and time required for manual testing while increasing the efficiency and accuracy of RF measurements. Amplifiers, filters, mixers, oscillators, and receivers are just a few of the RF components and circuits that might benefit from test and measurement automation. What is the purpose of instrument automation? Automation in RF test enclosures and measurement serves various functions, but some of the most popular ones are to boost productivity, cut expenses, and boost accuracy. In addition, the testing process can be sped up and made mor

How does the RF shield box serve its purpose?

  #1 Purpose of RF Shielding:   The conversations between the different types of systems that unintentionally disturb the frequency should be avoided. The disturbance usually causes significant problems like creating confusing signals and hindering the original purpose. It happens mainly due to radio frequency interference. The common issues are waves from cell phone transmitters, FM waves, Wi-Fi connections, and other related waves.   Every device has a specific end-use when the waves of other radio frequency interface interfere and causes crossed signal. The result is that the device delivers a disturbing call due to the presence of the new movement. The absence of an RF shield box is the reason for this problem. There should be a proper RF shield box when too many gadgets are present in a limited spectrum to avoid the radio frequency interface. Radiofrequency shielding is essential to reduce unwanted electromagnetic interference in electronic devices.   #2 How does the RF shield bo
