Abstract
An EMI shield that utilzes perforated dimples or other features configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation while simultaneously permitting air flow through the shielding material.
Claims5
An electromagnetic interference shield, comprising conductive material having a plurality of perforated parabolic dimples formed therein, each perforated dimple comprising an inner dimple characterized by parabolic segments separated by gaps and an outer dimple characterized by parabolic bands covering the gaps between the segments of the inner dimple.
An electromagnetic interference shield, comprising a conductive sheet and a plurality of perforated dimples in the sheet, each dimple comprising a segmented inner dimple and a banded outer dimple, the bands of the outer dimple at least partially covering gaps between segments of the inner dimple.
An electromagnetic interference shielded electronic module, comprising:
- an electronic device capable of generating electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a housing at least partially enclosing the electronic device, the housing having a plurality of walls at least one of which comprises a conductive material having a plurality of perforated dimples formed therein, each perforated dimple comprising an inner dimple characterized by parabolic segments separated by gaps and an outer dimple characterized by parabolic bands covering the gaps between the segments of the inner dimple.
An electromagnetic interference shielded electronic module, comprising:
