The role of electromagnetic shielding in dealing with the threat of Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI)

Abstract

This paper reviews the threat of Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) on commercial electronics and will describe the status of techniques to protect equipment from this threat. One of the most important means of protection is to provide electromagnetic shielding at the building, room or rack level. An example of an assessment approach will be shown in order to determine the amount of shielding required.
