The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers EMI shielding testing services that verify the performance of EMI shields.
What is EMI, and What is EMI Shielding?
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs when an electronic device’s function is disrupted by a nearby electromagnetic field. EMI can cause devices to malfunction, perform inefficiently, or fail. EMI can originate from artificial or natural sources, but EMI shielding effectively combats interference regardless of its source.
EMI shielding protects electronics from unwanted electromagnetic signals using conductive materials that redirect or block disturbances. EMI shields often consist of copper, stainless steel, or aluminum, and sometimes combine metals with pliable materials like silicone, neoprene, or polyurethane. They enable electronics to process intended signals while eliminating interference. EMI shields are widely used to protect or reduce EMI emissions from the following electronics:
Aerospace Electronics
Control panels, radar systems, weapon systems, and drones
Automotive Electronics
Airbag systems, braking systems, Collision radar, and information/navigation systems
Consumer Electronics
Cell phones, computers, and TVs
Industrial Machinery
Automated equipment and data centers
