Shielding effectiveness
Results	shown	are	typical	for	a	standard	Grayhill	
Series	84S	keyboard.	A	conductive	gasket	will	
generally	increase	the	shielding,	depending	on	
the	size	and	shape	of	the	gasket	and	its	material.	
Data	derived	for	E-Field	Radiation.
test method:
Measurements	 were	 made	 with	 the	 keyboard	
mounted	 to	 a	 brass	 plate,	 which	 in	 turn	 was	
mounted	to	a	shielded	enclosure	containing	the	
receiving	equipment.	A	signal	generator	provided	
the	frequency	source	that	was	radiated	from	the	
transmitting	antenna	to	the	enclosed	receiving	
antenna.	The	 spacing	 between	 antennas	 was	
maintained	constant	throughout	the	frequency	
range.	 The	 effectiveness	 rating	 is	 determined	
by	 establishing	 a	 reference	 reading	 without	
obstruction	 between	 the	 two	 antennas	 and	
determining	the	difference	between	that	reading	
and	the	test	setup	reading.
note:
When	measured	in	actual	equipment,	shielding	
effectiveness	 is	 determined	 by	 many	 factors.	
This	method	accurately	represents	the	shielding	
effectiveness	of	the	Grayhill	Series	84S	under	
Ideal	test	conditions.
