Abstract

The paper presents the influence of the structure and conductive yarn of several knitted textiles on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. The method used for shielding effectiveness testing was IEEE STD-299 modified for textile applicability. The shielding effectiveness measurements were effected in the anechoic chamber. The conductive textiles contain natural fibers (cotton and wool), and synthetic fibers (polyester and nylon) with conductive yarns of metals (like copper and stainless steel) and carbon. Results are presented and discussed.
