Screening (or shielding) is one basic way of achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
However, a confusingly large number of methods and concepts is available to test for the
screening quality of cables and related components, and for defining their quality. This
technical report gives a brief introduction to basic concepts and terms trying to reveal the
common features of apparently different test methods. It should assist in correct interpretation
of test data, and in the better understanding of screening (or shielding) and related
specifications and standards.
