Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electromagnetic pulse technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a composite electromagnetic shield. Background Art

[0002] Modern electronic information systems generally include sophisticated and advanced electronic computers, semiconductor integrated circuits, and weak current control software. The higher the degree of electronicization of the system, the more sensitive it is to changes in electromagnetic fields, voltages, and currents in the surrounding environment. Research and experiments have shown that strong electromagnetic pulses can burn out the semiconductor insulation layer or integrated circuit of electronic equipment, causing equipment failure or permanent damage, resulting in huge economic losses. Strong electromagnetic pulses pose a huge threat to the information society that increasingly relies on electronic equipment. How to effectively protect the safe and reliable operation of electronic information systems has become one of the issues that urgently need to be solved.

[0003] The most effective means of protecting against electromagnetic pulses is shielding, and the best shielding means is to cover electronic information equipment with a metal layer. However, metal shielding is a double-edged sword. While effectively shielding strong electromagnetic pulses, it also blocks the signal transmission and reception of the protected equipment. In actual use, electronic information systems must be able to resist strong electromagnetic pulses and effectively receive and send normal electromagnetic signals. Existing protection methods are difficult to meet this demand. From the perspective of protection mechanism, to meet this demand is to achieve the low-pass characteristic of electromagnetic energy, that is, to shield and isolate high-energy electromagnetic pulses that may cause damage to the equipment, while allowing low-energy electromagnetic signals to pass. At present, no structure or material with this function has been retrieved. Summary of the invention

[0020] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the structural order of the electromagnetic shield design is prepreg-adhesive film-circuit board-adhesive film-PMI foam-adhesive film-circuit board-adhesive film-prepreg.
