Abstract:
An arrangement for enclosing at least a portion of a circuit carrying substrate, the circuit carrying substrate carrying a circuit comprising one or more separately mounted circuit elements, the arrangement comprising:a) a first shielding member having first and second dimensions exceeding first and second dimensions defined by the circuit, the first shielding member disposed adjacent to a first side of the circuit;b) a second shielding member having first and second dimensions exceeding first and second dimensions defined by the circuit, the second shielding member disposed adjacent to a second side of the circuit, the first and second shielding members cooperating to define at least in part a fluid tight container for enclosing the circuit, the first and second shielding members further defining a slot therebetween;c) a plurality of shielding connectors, each of the plurality of shielding connectors being electrically conductive and extending between the first shielding member and the second shielding member, the plurality of shielding connectors disposed within and throughout said slot and spaced apart by a distance that is less than one-fourth the wavelength of an effective operating frequency of the circuit.
