Japan Patent No. 392205 / US Patent No. US6.855.883.B1

Reflects high frequency electromagnetic waves
MG(Microwave・Guard)net

  • ・Uses hypoallergenic pure silver fibers
  • ・Blocks high frequency electromagnetic waves (100kHz to several tens of GHz)
  • ・Anti-static (static)
  • ・High antibacterial and disinfecting performance
  • ・High durability (resistant to bending and friction)
  • ・Highly translucent and breathable
  • ・Ultra-lightweight(20g/㎡)
  • ・Approximately 25km of pure silver fibre is used per square metre.
  • ・The surface area of ​​silver is about twice that of the material, which makes it easy to react with water and ionize, providing high antibacterial and disinfecting effects.

The silver fibers are woven into a hexagonal shape.

This is the electric field shielding data (in dB: decibels) when 1 to 4 sheets of MGNET are stacked for each frequency.※99% at 40dB, 99.9% at 60dBIf you want to completely block your mobile phone from receiving signals, you need a shielding performance of 40dB or more, so please use MGNET3 or more layers.

KEC method electrolytic shield data

▲Comparison of shielding performance against near-field electric fields by overlapping MGNETs (KEC method): Measurement limit indicates the measurement limit value. By overlapping MGNETs, ​​the shielding performance against high-frequency electromagnetic waves from 1MHz to 2.5GHz increases from 20dB to 60dB in a minute.

Comparison of electromagnetic shielding performance by stacking MGNETs

We compared the electromagnetic shielding performance of stacked MGNETs. The shielding performance against near electric fields was measured using the KEC method as shown on the right. The results are shown in the table and graph above. These results show that stacking MGNETs improves shielding performance against high-frequency electromagnetic waves from 1MHz to 2.5GHz.Measurement method for shielding effectiveness against near electric fields using the KEC method (Figure 1)

Free space method electric field shielding data

This is the electric field shielding data (dB: decibels) when 1 to 6 sheets of MGNET are stacked for each frequency. Shielding performance evaluation of MGNET in each frequency band was carried out by HVS Technologies, Inc. (a specialist in electromagnetic absorbing shielding materials and test equipment attached to the Electro-Acoustic Research Center) in the United States. As a result, electromagnetic shielding performance was confirmed with a shielding rate of 30 to 40 dB or more at frequencies of 0.045 GHz to 1.4 GHz, and a shielding rate of 20 to 40 dB or more at frequencies of 7.75 GHz to 13.0 GHz. Details are shown in Table 2.
