Re: More facts: Coil size to faraday cage size ratio



Original poster: "dave pierson" <davep@xxxxxxxx>

(I've been doing cages, off an on, for 30 years...  8)>>)

1) Take care at joints/edges.
2) Ditto at doors.

(in either case its the single longest dimension.  (spacing between
welds.solder joints, etc) NOT the area of the opening.)

Handy rule of thumb used to be keep the longest dimension of an opening
under 1/10 wavelength at highest freq of interest.

DO NOT RUN ANY WIRES IN OR OUT WITHOUT DOING THE FILTERING
RIGHT.  (which is a long discussion in itself...)

Debugging/desinging cages can seem like 'magick', it is simply
hard, uncaring, physics....

(Pardon if all this has been taken into account.....)
