1.1 Introduction
Shield Box is an equipment that shields wireless products from RF interference which flows in by
radiation or through I/O cables while running tests.
Shield Box is highly effective in shielding as well as being small and sturdy. Therefore, it offers efficient
and economical testing solution for mass production, service, and development.
Key Features
●High RF Shielding
●Pneumatic control of lid open-close and diverse fixture motions
●EMI filters on all Data and DC lines
●Easily customizable to meet various test needs
●Red and Green LED’s for Pass/Fail indication
●RS-232C Remote Control
●High performance absorber for radiation testing

Typical RF Shielding
●The shielding effectiveness below is measured with blank panels; other I/O interface panels may
result in different shielding effectiveness of the shield box.
Frequency Shielding effectiveness (dB)
100 to 2000 MHz > 70 dB
2000 to 3000 MHz > 70 dB
3000 to 6000 MHz > 60 dB
Absorber Reflectivity
●The refelectivity below is verified by measuring signal strength with vector network analyzer after
reflecting it on the absorber.
Frequency Reflectivity (dB)
500 to 2000 MHz 15 dB (Typ.)
2000 to 6000 MHz 20 dB (Typ.)
1.3 Initial Inspection
When Shield Box is delivered, inspect the package and its content as follows:
1Check for any damage that could have occurred during the shipment.
2Verify that you have received the accessories supplied with the Shield Box and its options, which
are listed in 4.1 Exterior and Accessory Inspection
