Abstract
An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) scattering apparatus comprising an attachment component, a scattering cape, and a brace. The attachment component is configured to permit the EMC scattering apparatus to attach to a second object such as a drawer, cable outlet, cable connector, etc. The scattering cape is attached to the attachment component and is configured to scatter energy emitted from the second object by fluttering in response to airflow from the second object. The brace is connected to the attachment component, the brace is configured to keep the scattering cape in an extended position. The brace can also be attached to the scattering cape.
Claims20
An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) scattering apparatus comprising:
- an attachment component configured to permit the EMC scattering apparatus to attach to a second object;
- a scattering cape attached to the attachment component configured to scatter energy emitted from the second object, wherein the scattering cape is configured to flutter in response to airflow;
- and
- a brace connected to the attachment component, the brace configured to keep the scattering cape in an extended position.
A method for operation of an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) scattering apparatus, the method comprising:
- attaching the EMC scattering apparatus to a product in an area clear of obstructions;
- and
- enabling fans on the product that cause fluttering of a scattering cape of the EMC scattering apparatus to scatter energy emitted from the product.
