underlying principles. Most people have witnessed firsthand the effects of interference. To control EMI, government organizations, such as the FCC, CSA, and EEC, mandate that manufacturers may not design, produce or sell electronic equipment that jams the public broadcast services. In other instances, however, EMI can constitute more than a mere nuisance. The military and medical communities, for example, require trouble-free operation of their electronic equipment in adverse electromagnetic environments since malfunctions could jeopardize missions and personnel. The European Union’s EMC directive also mandates that “the apparatus has an adequate level of intrinsic immunity to electromagnetic disturbance to enable it to operate as intended”. EMC Design of High Speed Systems The interference and susceptibility (immunity) effects of electronic apparatus are created by time-variant electromagnetic fields which may be propagated along a conducting medium or by radiation through space. Because the source of the conducted and radiated interference energy levels may be related, a coordinated systems design effort is required to reduce these effects. A design program for an equipment item that must meet both an emission and an immunity requirement consists of: • Suppression: Reducing the interference at its source. • Isolation: Isolating the offending circuits by filtering, grounding and shielding. • Desensitization: Increasing the immunity of any susceptible circuits. These three steps should be carried on throughout the entire equipment design and implemented as early as possible within the design program. Effects of Logic Speed The trend in today’s electronic devices is faster, smaller, and digital rather than analog. Most equipment (95%) of today contains digital circuits. Today’s digital designer must create a circuit board that has the lowest possible EMI, combined with the highest possible operating/processing speeds. Design of the PCB is the most critical EMC influencing factor for any system, since virtually all active devices are located on the board. It is the changing current (accelerated electron movement) produced by the active devices that result in EMI. Design Approaches There are two approaches that can be used to reduce the emission from the PC board. The first approach is to operate the circuit at the slowest speeds consistent with the functionality of the system, lay out the PCB with the smallest possible loop areas (especially the high speed devices), and insert suppression components such as filters, ferrite beads, and bypass capacitors into the circuit to reduce its bandwidth. These techniques will result in a desired decrease in the high frequency harmonic amplitudes and circuit bandwidth and a corresponding undesired decrease in both the operating speed and system reliability. The use of slower speeds with reduced bandwidth will help to desensitize the circuit to external susceptibility fields. The second is to use shielding. Shielding is the only non-invasive suppression technique. Since the shielding is not inserted into the circuit, it does not affect the high frequency operating speed of the system, nor does it affect the operation of the system should changes be made to the design in the future. In addition, shielding does not create timing problems and waveform distortion; it does not decrease system reliability; and it reduces crosstalk. Plus, shielding works for both emission suppression as well as susceptibility (immunity) problems. 2 Even with the overall advantages of shielding, the most cost-effective approach is to use a combination of circuit suppression/hardening and shielding. www.lairdtech.com Fabric-Over-Foam and Conductive Foam Wire Mesh Tape Applications • Shielding or grounding of computer and telecommunication equipment seams and apertures • Covers opened infrequently for servicing (6-12 times per year) • Long lasting resiliency is ideal for highly sensitive components in permanent or semi-permanent enclosures • Consistent point-to-point contact for high shielding effectiveness over the life of the gasket • Design flexibility provides grounding and shielding solutions for I/O shielding panels, disk drive insulators, ground planes or circuit boards, electromedical devices, keyboard devices • Mask-and-peel tape for painted electronic enclosures • Cable and wire harness wrapping Features and Benefits Product Highlights • UL 94VO and HB flame retardant • Ideal for applications requiring low pressure force • Self-terminating cut-to lengths • High conductivity and shielding attenuation • Galvanically-compatible with most mating surfaces • High abrasion and shear resistance • Most economical gasket for low-cycling applications • High shielding effectiveness over broad frequency range • Available in wide variety of sizes and shapes • Knit construction for long lasting resiliency • Versatile mounting options • Available with elastomer gasket for moisture and dust sealing • Simple installation • Ideally suited for thin or low-profile applications • Conductive foil tape with release mask for painted enclosures • Tin copper cloth and nickel copper cloth versions provide easy-to-handle alternatives to foils Electrical Shielding Effectiveness Transfer Impedance (500 MHz) >85 dB 90 - 105 dB — H-field (200 MHz) Modified Mil 285 30 - 45 dB 55 - 65 dB — Plane Wave (2 GHz) Modified Mil 285 90 - 100 dB 80 - 115 dB 85 - 95 dB Surface Resistivity 100 dB across a wide spectrum of frequencies (see figure 2). • Prototype samples can be provided quickly utilizing laser technology, CAD/CAM equipment, and customer supplied drawings in DWG®, DXF®, IGS, PRT®, DRW®, STP®, and CT® file formats. • Extremely low compression forces allow for use of lighter materials (see figure 1). • Low Surface Resistivity as low as 0.07 ohms/square dependent on the fabric.

They provide highly conductive, yet resilient gasketing materials for EMI sealing as well as pressure and environmental sealing. Conductive elastomer gaskets are EMI shielding and sealing devices made from highly conductive, mechanically resilient and conformable vulcanized elastomers. They are available in the following types: Conductive elastomers are used for shielding electronic enclosures against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Usually, the shielding system consists of a conductive gasket sandwiched between a metal housing and lid. The primary function of these gaskets is to provide sufficient electrical conductivity across the enclosure/gasket/lid junction to meet grounding and EMI shielding requirements, as well as prevent intrusion of the fluids into the electrical components. Laird offers conductive elastomers in the following forms: 1. ElectroSeal dispersed filler particles in elastomers 2. ElectroMet oriented wire in solid and sponge elastomers, and impregnated wire mesh and expanded metals 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Flat gaskets or die-cuts Molded shapes such as O-rings or intricate parts Extruded profiles or strips Vulcanized-to-metal covers or flanges Co-molded or reinforced seals Form-in-place gaskets When any two flat, but rigid surfaces are brought together, slight surface irregularities on each surface prevent them from meeting completely at all points. These irregularities may be extremely minute, yet may provide a leakage path for gas or liquid under pressure, and for high frequency electromagnetic energy. This problem remains in flange sealing even when very high closure force is applied. However, when a gasket fabricated of resilient material is installed between the mating surfaces, and even minimal closure pressure is applied, the resilient gasket conforms to the irregularities in both mating surfaces. As a result, all surface imperfections and potential leak paths across the joint area are sealed completely against pneumatic and fluid pressure or penetration by environmental gases. If the gasket is conductive as well as resilient, with conductive matrix distributed throughout its total volume in mesh or particle form, the joint can be additionally sealed against penetration by, or exit of, electromagnetic energy. 79 www.lairdtech.com EMI ESSENTIALS ELECTROSEAL CONDUCTIVE ELASTOMER PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE ECE POLYMER MATERIAL MATRIX Benefit Ag (Silver) AgCu AgNi AgAl AgGlass Ni NiAl Silicone good all purpose material NiGraphite Carbon Non-Conductive ECE082/083 ECE080/094 ECE084 ECE081 ECE085 ECE100 ECE032 ECE072/093 ECE087 NCE220 Fluorosilicone fuel and oil resistant -NA- ECE088 ECE090 ECE050/089 ECE011 -NA- -NA- ECE092 -NA- -NA- EPDM biohazard resistant -NA- -NA- -NA- ECE096 -NA- -NA- -NA- ECE095 ECE013 -NA- FIP RESIN MATRIX Benefit AgCu AgNi AgAl NiGraphite Non-Conductive RXP - room temperature cure simple dispense process SNK55 SNN60 SNL60 SNC70 SIL25 HXP - heat cure longer shelf life SNK60 SNN65 SNL70 SNC70 SIL35 80 www.lairdtech.com EMI ESSENTIALS ELECTROSEAL CONDUCTIVE ELASTOMER CASE STUDY EXAMPLE A Telecommunication customer A is looking for a gasket for RRU chassis. The chassis will be made of Aluminum by casting. There is an existing design including groove. Groove dimension is as follows. The customer is looking for an electromagnetic shielding larger than 50 dB for the chassis. And high reliability is required considering RRU unit will be exposed in open air and sustain various weather condition such as snow, rain, fog, etc. Select elastomer base Selection Process Conclusion Take reference of Table 1 Silicone All the three bases can meet resistance requirement against weather, but silicone is the most cost effective one. And also best on availability and processibility. Select filler system "Take reference of Table 3 for galvanic performance and Material Selection Table 6 1. Ag/Al filler would be most compatible with casting aluminum. 2. Ni/Graphite is a cost effective solution but still acceptable. Can be a candidate for future cost/performance comparison. 3. Better use a hybrid design considering high reliability requirement. 4. Both filler system can provide high shielding. But final performance would rely also on final design." "Hybrid (NCE+ECE), ECE81(Ag/Al) or ECE93(Ni/Graphite) " Closure force Medium closure force required because the RRU unit need to sustain water flush without high pressure Hollow cross section Is there an existing design? (part/groove/flange/interface) There is an existing groove design. But can not find corresponding groove recommendation in brochure. Would need a design on gasket. Contact Laird FAE for it. What's the shape? Existing groove design is rectangle shaped. A standard double D co-extrusion might work Decide dimension "Filling percentage >90% to bear water flush Compression >=25% considering large coplanarity of chassis and cover Final FEA possible to confirm the design Co-extrusion required because the total length is 1600 mm" How to mount the gasket? Would need a PSA to hold the strip in groove Design Shape & Dimension Double D co-extrusion or custom design But a friction fit design can also be done for easy assembly and cost saving.

Laird uses two separate processes to produce its reticulated foam absorber. This unique spray process applies a coating that is graded through the thickness of the foam. The grading of the coating also produces an electrical grading that results in a material with excellent broadband reflectivity reduction. APPLICATIONS RFRET broadband foam is commonly used around antennas to provide isolation or side lobe reduction. It can be die-cut into components for EMI reduction inside microwave cavities and is used to manufacture antenna hats and test boxes. It can be encapsulated into a textile cover for use outdoors and fabricated into blankets, covers and other components. Recently, it has been used for a combination air/EMI filter in networking equipment. The product can be made UL 94 HF1 for such applications.

The end product is a uniform, lightweight, loaded sheet material with a specified insertion loss at a given frequency. RFLS offers the lowest cost in microwave absorber products. Thickness of the sheets range from 0.125" to 1.5" (3,2 mm to 38,1 mm) and are generally 24" x 24" (609,6 mm x 609,6 mm). Custom sizes and components can be fabricated. The insertion loss of the product is measured in an insertion tunnel over the 2 to 18 GHz frequency range. Specifications are generally given at 3 or 10 GHz. The material can be die-cut into components and supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for ease of application.

Increasing use of printed circuit boards in complex electronics requires unique shielding solutions. Laird has developed a near field measurement to accurately determine the effectiveness of board-level shielding. Several Laird board-level shields have been characterized using this technique. Laird has further enhanced performance at greater than 2 GHz by adding a microwave absorber to the board-level shield. Further work has been completed on FlomericsTM FLO-EMC to analytically investigate board-level shields performance improvement using absorbers at high frequency. THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE ABSORBERS – COOL-ZORB VBROP can optimize absorber performance at various frequencies and angles of incidence. Laird is developing thermally conductive microwave absorbing materials. These can be used as thermal pads between chips and heatsinks, allowing conduction of heat and dissipation of EMI. Initial testing and modeling has shown this to be an effective solution to heat sink radiation from noisy chips. MU EPSILON MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES Laird has a network analyzer to make amplitude and phase measurements from 130 MHz to 20 GHz. Laird also has a reflectivity arch, transmission tunnel and a variety of coaxial, wave-guide and other test equipment to determine intrinsic electrical properties of absorber materials. This ability has enabled Laird to build a database that customers can use to design new absorbers and analyze their performance in different situations. Absorber Board-level Shield (ABLS) ANALYTICAL SOFTWARE VBROP VBROP is a versatile Windows® 95/98/NT-based optimizer of multi-layered stacks for reflection or maximum transmission at specified frequencies, angle of incidence and polarization. The visual basic front-end makes the software extremely user friendly, with interactive analysis of layer properties versus performance. It is useful for the design, optimization and detailed performance analysis of RAM, RAS, radomes and microwave windows. 113 www.lairdtech.com ANTENNAS & RECEPTION | EMBEDDED WIRELESS | EMI | TELEMATICS | THERMAL | WIRELESS AUTOMATION & CONTROL Americas: +1.800.634.2673 Europe: +49.8031.24600 ASEAN: +65.6243.8022 China: +86.757.2563.8860 India: +91.80.40740.400 x448 Japan: +81.45.473.6808 Korea: +82.10.8706.7469 Taiwan: +886.2.22901234 x163 www.lairdtech.com EMI-CAT-ESSENTIALS 1213 Any information furnished by Laird and its agents is believed to be accurate and reliable.
