Shielding Effectiveness

Results shown are typical for a standard Grayhill

Series 84S keyboard. A conductive gasket will

generally increase the shielding, depending on

the size and shape of the gasket and its material.

Data derived for E-Field Radiation.

Test Method:

Measurements were made with the keyboard

mounted to a brass plate, which in turn was

mounted to a shielded enclosure containing the

receiving equipment. A signal generator provided

the frequency source that was radiated from the

transmitting antenna to the enclosed receiving

antenna. The spacing between antennas was

maintained constant throughout the frequency

range. The effectiveness rating is determined

by establishing a reference reading without

obstruction between the two antennas and

determining the difference between that reading

and the test setup reading.

Note:

When measured in actual equipment, shielding

effectiveness is determined by many factors.

This method accurately represents the shielding

effectiveness of the Grayhill Series 84S under

Ideal test conditions.
