RFI is the high frequency interference with radio reception. This occurs when
undesired electromagnetic oscillations find entrance to the high frequency input of a
receiver or antenna system.
RFI sources
Sources are equipment and systems as well as their components which can cause
RFI.
Shielded enclosure
A screened or solid metal housing designed expressly for the purpose of isolating the
internal from the external electromagnetic environment. The purpose is to prevent
outside ambient electromagnetic fields from causing performance degradation and to
prevent emissions from causing interference to outside activities.
Stripline
Parallel plate transmission line to generate an electromagnetic field for testing
purposes.
Susceptibility
Susceptibility is the characteristic of electronic equipment that permits undesirable
responses when subjected to electromagnetic energy.
