In which fields is the blocking network applied?
The application of EMI shielding is extremely extensive, and it is an indispensable "invisible guardian" for modern electronic devices. The core application logic is that any circuit or device that may generate electromagnetic interference or be affected by it needs it.
The following table summarizes its main application areas and characteristics:
Application field | Typical equipment/scenario | Shielding purpose and key requirements | Common forms and materials |
Consumer electronics | Smartphones, tablets, laptops, televisions, digital cameras, wearable devices | Prevent internal high-speed components (CPU, Wi Fi, display screen) from interfering with each other; Meet the rigorous FCC/CE certification requirements; Compact space, requiring lightness and thinness. | Conductive cloth/foam, sprayed shielding paint, nano silver paste, metalized plastic shell, ultra-thin metal foil. |
Communication and Computing | Communication base station (RRU/BBU), router, switch, server, GPU graphics card | Suppress high-power RF signal interference; Prevent excessive radiation of high-speed digital signals (such as PCIe, DDR); High heat dissipation requirements. | Fully enclosed metal shielding cover (with heat dissipation fins), conductive rubber strip, waveguide ventilation plate, and spring plate. |
Industry and Automotive | Industrial controllers, motor drivers, automotive ECUs, infotainment systems, ADAS sensors | Resist harsh external electromagnetic environments (motors, relays); Meet strong certification standards such as E-mark for automobiles; Resistant to high temperatures and vibrations. | Cast aluminum shielding box, stainless steel cover, thick specification conductive foam, metal woven mesh tube, sealed conductive gasket. |
Medical and Military Industry | Medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT), life monitor, military radio, radar | Related to life safety and information confidentiality; Require the highest level of shielding effectiveness (SE); Reliability comes first. | Special alloy fully welded sealed chassis, composite shielding materials, multi-layer shielded cables, conductive glass windows. |
Detailed explanation of applications in various fields
1. In the field of consumer electronics
Application characteristics: This is the most extensive and "internalized" field. With the thinning of devices, shielding design has evolved from independent metal covers to copper foil integrated on FPC and conductive coatings inside battery covers. For example, there are shielding covers or conductive fabrics around almost every chip and connector inside a mobile phone.
Special focus: The shielding of antenna areas (such as phone bezels) needs to be carefully designed to prevent interference with the antenna and leave a "clear space" for the antenna, which is the key to measuring the RF performance of a mobile phone.
2. Communication and computing infrastructure
Application features: Handling extremely high power and frequency, with extremely strict shielding requirements. The shielding cover of the base station power amplifier module itself is a large heat sink. M.2 SSDs and memory slots on server motherboards also commonly use shielding covers to ensure signal integrity.
Special focus: The contradiction between ventilation and shielding. The chassis will use metal waveguide ventilation panels (honeycomb shaped) to allow air to circulate, but electromagnetic waves cannot effectively pass through.
3. Industrial Control and Automotive Electronics
Application characteristics: harsh environment, mandatory standards. The shielding of the car control screen must prevent strong pulse interference generated by engine ignition, electric window motors, etc. Industrial frequency converters need to suppress the high-frequency noise generated by their own IGBT switches.
Special focus: Grounding and bonding. In the metal body system of automobiles, the shielding mesh must achieve low impedance and large-area overlap with the vehicle chassis to form a complete grounding circuit.
4. Medical and Military/Aerospace
Application features: Pursuing absolute reliability regardless of cost. The shielding chamber of nuclear magnetic resonance equipment is a huge "Faraday cage" that prevents external radio waves from interfering with imaging. Military equipment must prevent electromagnetic information leakage (TEMPEST standard) and resist high-intensity electromagnetic pulse attacks.
Special focus: integrity of blocking. All seams and cable entrances require special treatment, often using electromagnetic sealing gaskets and filtering connectors.
Key points and challenges of common technologies
Regardless of the field, effective shielding must address three core challenges:
Continuity: Ensure that the shielding body has no electrical breakpoints.
Grounding/bonding: Provide a reliable interference discharge path.
Compatibility: Achieving a balance between shielding and heat dissipation, weight, cost, and assemblability.
In summary, from the phone in your pocket to the satellite cruising in space, blocking network technology is everywhere. It works quietly in the "dark" of electronic devices, serving as the cornerstone for ensuring signal purity, device stability, system compatibility, and ultimately passing regulatory certification.
