Abstract :
In this paper, a series of experiments were performed to explore the additional shielding provided by copper tape. A realistic situation was created in the form of a canonical test object with a small slot aperture. This was considered to be realistic because sealing small cracks around the openings of shielding enclosures seems to be one of the dominant uses for copper tape
