Abstract
A housing-shaped shielding plate for shielding of an electrical component, in particular a radio-frequency, optoelectronic transceiver, is described. The housing-shaped shielding plate has a shielding plate body with a first region which lies inside a metallic structure, and with a second region which can be inserted through a cutout of the metallic structure and has an opening for coupling a connector. Accordingly, in the first region of the shielding plate body there are elongated slots, through which electromagnetic waves produced within the shielding plate body are specifically coupled out of the shielding plate.
Claims12
A housing-shaped shielding plate for shielding an electrical component, including a radio-frequency, optoelectronic transceiver, the housing-shaped shielding plate comprising:
- a shielding plate body having a first region to be disposed inside a metallic structure, said first region having a plurality of wall sections, and a second region to be inserted through a cutout of the metallic structure, at least one of said plurality of wall sections of said first region of said shielding plate body having at least one elongated opening formed therein being a slot antenna through which electromagnetic waves produced within said shielding plate body are coupled out of said shielding plate body.
The shielding plate according to claim 5, wherein said plurality of wall sections includes side wall sections and said slot antenna extends between opposite edges of one of said side wall sections.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
