SUMMARY
The relationship between shielding effectiveness and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is complex and requires a two-step approach. First, calculate the shielding efficiency, typically expressed in decibels (dB), before determining its impact on SNR. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific modulation scheme and type of noise present in the channel to accurately compute SNR. For practical applications, aluminum foil is suggested as a shielding material for a dome covering both transmitter and receiver.
