Shielding the Electromagnetic Waves by Inserting Conductive Lightweight Materials into Woven Curtains
Author(s): Izabela Ciesielska Wróbel, Jos Knockaert, Gilbert De Mey and Lieva Van Langenhove
This preliminary study presents screening curtains made of electro-conductive yarns introduced into woven structures, which provide similar screening abilities as those offered by commercially available metallic plates. The curtains have a major advantage of being flexible so that they are easier to install and to remove. In order to provide a lightweight solution to compare the existing solutions present at the market, one proposes using (1) a carbon yarn (200 tex) and (2) a nickel-coated carbon yarn (1420 tex) as wefts in the woven structures responsible for conducting. The fabrics were separately tested in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) anechoic room, which is non-reflective and echo-free laboratory chamber. Transmitting and receiving antennas we... view more»
