Absorption of digital hash


Berkeley uses material to absorb stray digital noise. Anyone know what they use?

Just be aware that proper EMI/RFI interference shielding requires significant engineering knowledge and it is best done by professionals and requires very expensive specialist equipment. I see little point in trying ad-hoc solutions, it is very difficult to achieve a good shield at home. Do you really have a EMI/RFI radiation issue and how does it manifest itself?

I just don't believe you can slap a little bit of some 'magic' material to tackle emissions. EMC compliance (includes RFI/EMI emissions) is big business in Europe and companies spend millions to ensure their products meet the requirements at all stages of product development.  At the design stage you account for emissions and you control them using various design techniques. Then there are several stages of EMC testing before a product is released to production.

If you believe you have emissions issues you need to measure it and then decide what to do about it. I am assuming that you mean emissions when you say stray digital noise. What do you think is the root of it, where is it coming from?

 

@mijostyn Totally agree. if a product is emitting RF or whatever then it is not fit for purpose and shouldn't be in the market.
