Greetings Neven,
There are a couple of things that need to be considered when you have an
rf source close to a shield with apertures. First is the shielding
properties of the shield as people have said this is very dependent upon
the field impedance when you are in the near field. Second and
Neven,
There are quite a number of books addressing the shielding effectiveness
analysis. Personally, I will recommend two of them:
1. White: EMC Handbook, Volume 3: Shielding
2. Ott: Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems, Chapter 6: Shielding
Hope this helps

Neven,
To analyze the noise picked up by a wire that crosses a hole/slot in a shield,
look at:

in an Infinite Plane, Electromagnetic Compatibility 1989, Zurich,
Switzerland, Mar. 7-9, 1989, pp. 89-92.

RE: Product Safety: A Matter of Law or Litigation?Look for a book on RF or
microwave. My favorite is Fields And Waves In Communication Electronics.
Look in the section on waveguides. Operate the waveguide below cutoff.
A small aperture in a sheet metal with finite thickness is essentially a
very
Don't forget the Product Liability Directive 85/374/EEC.

There's an article by B. Archambeault and C. Brench, entitled, Shielded Air
Vent Design Guidelines from EMI Modeling in IEEE Int. Symp. On EMC, Dallas

Zohar Hi!
I found the following links to the wire styles in UL's On-Line Component
Directory at www.ul.com.
As you can see the Style for the wires that you specify do not reference
impedance.

Folks --
I've seen a lot of assertions in this email chain, some of which I'd like to
challenge on a factual basis. Note that I am not disagreeing with what a
prudent business decision might be, but am rather challenging the assertions
of what the laws state.
