Abstract
An electronic component assembly includes an electromagnetic interference (EMI)-producing component capable of generating EMI and an EMI-sensitive component. The electronic component assembly further includes a radiation shunt disposed proximate to the EMI-sensitive component capable of attracting at least a portion of the EMI and, by attracting the at least a portion of the EMI, shielding the EMI-sensitive component from the at least a portion of the EMI. By providing a radiation shunt to shield the EMI-sensitive component, a need is reduced for a mechanical shield that surrounds the EMI-sensitive component.
