Trends and Innovations in EMI Shielding

EMI shielding is an essential attribute of many modern electronic circuits, especially those used for wireless communications. As connected devices continue to proliferate, transitions in how EMI shielding is provided will support the transition to higher communication frequencies and advanced semiconductor packaging.

Innovations in EMI shielding are especially applicable for applications where compactness is essential, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and AR/VR headsets, but will also find applications within other consumer electronic devices, vehicles and telecommunications infrastructure. These developments include emerging deposition methods such as spraying and inkjet printing, along with new materials.
