I have read somewhere that you can RF shield one radio card from another by using aluminium tape. Do anyone have some more information on using aluminium tape to shield radios from other radios in the same enclosure for example in a rb600. Where and how precisely should the tape be applied and what is the kind of improvement in db that can be expected.
Thank You
Hi,
just take a closer look to older 802.11a/b/g PCI-Cards which also use Mini-PCI-Cards. Where you can see a good solution with a metal enclosure as shield. But theirfor you need some space around the Mini-PCI-Socket and also 2 or 4 holes in the mainboard to solder them.
No space for such a solution on any RouterBOARD. It’s a pity.

What areas of the r52 radio card could be leaking RF. The small connector on the card where the pigtail is attached? Or maybe a faulty pigtail connection to the LMR cable? Is there anyway to block some of this RF leakage from interfering with the other radio cards?
Maybe I am looking at the wrong part of the system to identify the RF interference. The RF from the back lobe of a grid antenna could also interfere with the radios in the box or the sector mounted nearby?
What I really want to know is what is the best known and practice techniques to reduce RF interference and also how do I test for high levels of RF interference between closely stacked radio cards.
Any advice and info will be appreciated.
Thank You
