Measurement of IC package shielding effectiveness using an integrated antenna

A novel technique for measuring integrated circuit (IC) package shielding effectiveness is presented. The technique is based on radiated field measurements performed with an integrated circuit antenna in a Gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell. A thorough test procedure which takes into account all possible field contributions is proposed. The technique is simple to implement, cost effective, and suitable for characterizing IC package shielding effectiveness up to 10 GHz.
