Abstract:
An electromagnetic shielding apparatus, comprising:a ground plane including a surface; a plurality of detached, electrically conductive block members, wherein each detached block member is electrically connected to the ground plane surface in adjacent relationship to define a perimeter of an area of the ground plane surface to be shielded, wherein each detached, electrically conductive block member includes a pair of planar, rectangular front and back faces, a pair of planar, rectangular side faces, and a pair of planar, rectangular top and bottom faces, wherein the planar, rectangular side faces of each detached, electrically conductive block member are generally parallel, wherein the planar, rectangular top and bottom faces of each detached, electrically conductive block member are generally parallel, and wherein the planar, rectangular front and back faces of each detached, electrically conductive block member are generally parallel; and an electrically conductive cover secured to the rectangular top face of each of the detached, electrically conductive block members to overlie the area of the ground plane to be shielded.
