Indoor Assessment of Screening Efficiency through Absorption and Reflection

This paper proposes a method for evaluating the shielding effectiveness for a number of shields manufactured using accessible materials. There are described the mechanisms through which the shielding occurs, but also the corresponding physical phenomena. Also, there are presented the experimental setups for assessment of the shielding efficiency through absorption and reflection, respectively. Based on the measurement results, there are discussed the methods used for measuring and evaluating the shields effectiveness, as well as the efficiency of various materials and various configurations of screens.
