Abstract
A shield enclosure includes a housing with a peripheral wall that defines a cavity, and a cover removably coupleable to the housing to at least partially seal the cavity. The cavity is sized to receive a printed circuit board therein. The housing shields the printed circuit board from electromagnetic interference and noise during noise figure testing of a radiofrequency component on the printed circuit board.

A method for shielding a printed circuit board from electromagnetic interference and noise during noise figure testing, comprising:
- unsealing a cover from a housing to expose a printed circuit board in a cavity defined by a peripheral wall, the printed circuit board having at least one radiofrequency component mounted thereon;
- removing soldering between electrical contacts on the printed circuit board and one or more pins of one or more radiofrequency connectors attached to the peripheral wall;
- detaching the one or more radiofrequency connectors from the peripheral wall;
- and
- removing the printed circuit board and inserting into the cavity a replacement printed circuit board having a radiofrequency component mounted thereon.
