  • Patent number: 5638259
    Abstract: A Faraday shield minimizes the leakage of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) of a maximum frequency and corresponding wavelength that emanates from electronic components contained within the shield. The top and bottom each contain apertures that are dimensioned to effectively block the escape of EMI and RFI from the shield and to permit the flow of air to dissipate heat without generating acoustic noise. The thickness of the top of the shield is at least one half of the diagonal length across the largest of the apertures located in the top. The length of the longest aperture side is less than one fourth of the wavelength of the maximum frequency of EMI and RFI contained by the shield. Corresponding relationships exist between the apertures located in the shield bottom and its thickness.

  • Patent number: 5063362
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for suppression of electrical interferences. A node or point in an electronic circuit which is emitting electrical interferences is located, and a stub member designed to be a resonant transmission line at the frequency being emitted is connected to the node for suppression of the electrical interferences. If suppression is to occur between two points that are both electrically insulated from one another, a balanced line may be used. A second parallel stub tuned to the even harmonic of the fundamental frequency may be used to suppress both the even and odd harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the electrical interference. Parallel stubs may also be used to broaden the null as in a multi-pole filter. Tuning elements such as variable capacitors may be used with the stub members to tune to the exact frequency to be suppressed.
