Most electronic enclosures need some form of air ventilation to keep cool the electronics within. If this is a RFI/EMI shielded enclosure then the overall shielding effectiveness of the enclosure can be compromised. For many commercial applications, perforated sheet, metal or metallized plastic will suffice, but for high performance requirements, waveguides provide superior shielding over a wide frequency range. Waveguides offer superior shielding Waveguides can be circular, rectangular or ho...
