This single source encyclopaedic volume contains the answers to numerous complex shielding problems. It integrates basic concepts with hands-on techniques and practical recommendations on a broad range of EMC and shielding-related subjects: the role and significance of the shielding discipline, electromagnetic energy coupling and transfer mechanisms, shielding cables, enclosures, systems, sound shielding design, evaluation, measurement practices and other timely shielding topics. The text suggests original methods of cost-effective and optimal design selections and solutions to shielding systems and their elements. It spans all shielding levels: single chip, printed circuit board, cables and cable assemblies, whole products and systems - up to complex networks. This text is based on more than 30 years of the author's experience in the electromagnetic shielding and EMC field. A number of "non-cable" topics are included, and a general introduction to the subject is given. The handbook should be a useful resource for answers to difficult shielding-related questions.
