Patent ID: 6856209

Claim:
An electronic module configured to suppress electromagnetic radiation, wherein the electronic module has a plurality of electronic components disposed therein, the module comprising: a module housing wherein the housing is made of an electrically conductive material; a circuit board having a ground plane wherein the circuit board is fixed to the module housing; a plurality of capacitors having first and second ends, wherein the first ends are coupled to the ground plane and wherein the capacitors are connected electrically in parallel and are uniformly spaced within the electronic module; a first conductive ring fixed to a first side of the circuit board and in electrical communication with second ends of the plurality of capacitors; a fastening means mechanically and electrically coupled to the first conductive ring and to the module housing; a second conductor ring fixed to a second side of the circuit board; and a conductive member is disposed between the first and second conductive rings and electrically interconnects the first and second conductive rings, and wherein the fastening means, the first and second conductive rings and the conductive member create a ground path from the circuit board to the module housing.
