RF Shielded Enclosures

RF shielded enclosures are structures designed to prevent the transmission of electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency (RF) range. They are commonly used to house sensitive electronic equipment that is susceptible to interference from external RF sources.

RF shielded enclosures are typically constructed from metal, such as aluminum or steel, which provides a continuous conductive barrier around the equipment. The enclosure is designed to reflect or absorb RF radiation, preventing it from entering the interior and interfering with the operation of the equipment.

In addition to the metal enclosure itself, RF shielded enclosures also typically include various other components to ensure effective shielding. These may include RF gaskets or seals to prevent leakage, filtering to remove unwanted frequencies, and ventilation or cooling systems to prevent overheating.

RF shielded enclosures are used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, military systems, medical equipment, and research and development. In telecommunications, for example, RF shielded enclosures are used to protect sensitive equipment from interference and ensure reliable operation. In military systems, RF shielded enclosures are used to protect electronic equipment from external threats such as electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
