Abstract

In this paper, the authors present the results of the SOBITS-project (that was terminated at the end of 1997) executed within the framework of the European Measurement and Testing program. The goal of the project was to compare different methods for characterisation of the shielding performance of board-to-backplane and backplane-to-cable connectors used in telecommunication and computer systems. Dedicated test configurations have been designed and developed. These can be used as standard configurations. Especially the accuracy, reproducibility and ease of use of the compared methods have been considered which are important for standardisation purposes
