A receptacle that houses electrical and electronic components and shields the components from harmful electromagnetic radiation uses a series of interspersed graphite layers with metal mesh and/or metal-coated carbon fiber layers in overlapping tape format that are fused together to form a laminate. In addition to the electromagnetic radiation absorption occasioned by the metal mesh layers, resonance chambers are formed within the laminate between adjoining metal mesh layers. The resonance chambers are tuned such that waves of certain frequencies are reflected away from the internal chamber of the receptacle while other wave frequencies are resonated within the resonance chambers. This allows the components of the receptacle to be shielded from incoming belligerent waves while allowing the dispatch of useful outgoing waves.
A receptacle having an interior space and an outer surface, the receptacle being formed of a thermoplastic matrix composite laminate comprised of a series of graphite layers and a series of metal mesh layers such that the series of graphite layers and the series of metal mesh layers within the laminate forming a series of interlaminar resonance chambers which tune the electromagnetic shielding characteristics to specific frequencies such that the resulting structure possesses Faraday cage properties for the interior space and such that for an incoming incident wave of a first frequency entering the laminate via the laminate's outer surface, at least a first portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the incident wave is absorbed by the metal mesh layers and a second portion of the incoming wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a reflected wave loss and wherein for an outgoing incident wave of a second frequency that is different relative to the first frequency entering the laminate via the inner surface, at least a third portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the outgoing wave passes directly through the laminate and exits the laminate through the laminate's outer surface and a fourth portion of the outgoing wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a 2nd transmission wave.
A receptacle having an interior space and an outer surface, the receptacle being a thermoplastic laminate formed as a PEEK composite laminate with a metallic mesh interleaved with the graphite PEEK layers in the laminate, fused together to form the laminate such that a series of interlaminar electromagnetic resonance chambers is formed between the metal mesh layers within the laminate and such that the container possesses Faraday cage properties for the interior space and such that for an incoming incident wave of a first frequency entering the laminate via the laminate's outer surface, at least a first portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the incident wave is absorbed by the metal mesh layers and a second portion of the incoming wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a reflected wave loss and wherein for an outgoing incident wave of a second frequency that is different relative to the first frequency entering the laminate via the inner surface, at least a third portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the outgoing wave passes directly through the laminate and exits the laminate out through the laminate's outer surface and a fourth portion of the outgoing wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a second transmission wave.
A receptacle comprising a series of PEEK composite layers and a series of metal mesh layers interleaved with the PEEK layers fused into a single laminate such that the laminate is formed into a receptacle having an interior space bounded by the inner surface, the receptacle also having an outer surface, such that the receptacle possesses Faraday cage properties for the interior space such that the interlaminar location and number of metal mesh form a series of electromagnetic resonance chambers between the f metal mesh layers within the laminate such that for an incoming incident wave of a first frequency entering the laminate via the laminate's outer surface, at least a first portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the incident is absorbed by the metal mesh layers and a second portion of the incoming wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a reflected wave loss and wherein for an outgoing incident wave of a second frequency that is different relative to the first frequency entering the laminate via the inner surface, at least a third portion of the electromagnetic radiation of the outgoing wave passes directly through the laminate and exits the laminate through the laminate's outer surface and a fourth portion of the outgoing wave is internally reflected within the resonance chambers and exits the laminate via the outer surface as a second transmission wave.
