Abstract :
In this paper, we describe laboratory evaluations of nonconventional shielded enclosure leak detection system (SELDS) test techniques for determining/monitoring welded seam quality for EMI/RFI shielded construction. These techniques involve a "transmission line" seam excitation rather than the usual "circuit" excitation. The method of evaluation and results are presented.
