Introduction

BMI-S-206-F-H16 is a type of RF shield designed to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electronic equipment. It is a wide-bandwidth, highly effective grid shield composed of four concentric wire mesh patterns, with wire diameters and spacing determined by application requirements and frequency band.

Application Field

RF shields are used to protect receivers from external interference caused by transmitted energy from other radio sources and other radiation sources. To prevent EMI, a shield should be constructed in a way that maximizes the attenuation and isolation of the interfering signals while allowing sufficient transmission of the desired signals. This type of shield is commonly used in applications involving high power transmission and reception, and products that require high EMI protection, such as medical and industrial equipment, automotive systems, communications systems, and aerospace systems.

Working Principle

The BMI-S-206-F-H16 Shield works by creating an electromagnetic barrier between an enclosed RF signal source and the outside environment. The Shield consists of copper wire mesh or conductive foil on all four sides of a Faraday cage. The conductive material forms impedance walls, which offer resistive blockage against external energy radiation to the shielded enclosure.

The shield can also act as a barrier for energy going the other way, so that signals propagating inside the shielded enclosure are prevented from radiating out. This is important to ensure that RF signals within the equipment are not broadcast, which could cause interference with other electronic devices.

In addition, the shield also helps to reduce the amount of noise and other forms of EMI interference entering the enclosed area. This is done by reducing the amount of external electromagnetic fields entering the enclosure. The shield helps to create an environment in which the desired signals can be transmitted and received without interference from outside sources.

Conclusion

The BMI-S-206-F-H16 Shield is an effective type of RF shield, designed to protect against electromagnetic interference in electronic equipment. It is suitable for use in high power transmission and reception applications, as well as products that require high EMI protection, such as medical, industrial and aerospace equipment. The Shield works by creating an electromagnetic barrier, reducing the amount of external electromagnetic fields entering the enclosure, and providing resistive blockage against external energy radiation.
