Shielding Effectiveness of Gaskets: MIL DTL 83528G Conditions Against Requirements in Practice

In this letter, it is suggested how the basic setup of MIL DTL 83528G can easily be adapted to the situations occurring in practice: factors such as the orientations of antennas with respect to the setup, beam width of antennas, and distances between the clamping bolts which hold the gaskets in place, are taken into account. Typical measurement results under different measuring conditions related to practical situations, are reported and discussed, as well as suggestions for good design.
