Am building an HF amp, and will need several large (~3" diameter) openings in the chassis for ventilation. I would like the chassis to be as RF tight as is reasonably possible, so trying to figure ou

I use hardware cloth. About 3/16" between the wires. Available in many sizes. Its usually galvanized. Available at most hardware and home centers. In other words, window screen with large holes. It's

Hi Dan, there are a couple of data points on this: hole size in the section dealing with rfi and shielding considerations. ventilation; not screen. Any rf leakage is apparently very small or we would

Not Every Commercial amp uses perforated holes. I had a large Henry Rack Mount amp built for me on 220mHz and it had screen above the tube (3cx800a7) on the exhaust. Screen looked like about .2" spac

Hardware cloth is fine for a HF amp, use screen for VHF and up. I used a UHF GDO to sniff the RF from the 1500W 2M amp. Using hardware cloth I could see some 144 energy and a LOT of the 3rd harmonic.

For high power HF and VHF amplifiers where I need to pass air through a hole, I have been using copper hardware cloth, sold by McMaster Carr, instead of aluminum screening. It is made from heavy copp

There is a detailed set of relatively simple design equations for the relationship between hole size and RF leakage vs frequency in all versions of Henry Ott's excellent texts on EMC. I'm working wit

Thanks for the referral. Just ordered a copy from Amazon. For the group, does anyone have a well-maintained booklist for amps and general RF engineering? I recently dumped 30 years worth of Newark, A

I run a Centurion on AM with the expansion steel over the RF deck side exhaust, and over another hole cut in the top over the tank circuit. I am interested in what is motivating the desire for shield
