Shielding cans

I see each tx/rx chain on the WARPv3 has headers for Shielding cans.
Have you tried adding them, did they make a difference for EM radiation purposes?
Does Mango supply them, can you suggest any suitable products/vendors?

Re: Shielding cans

We evaluated some shields early in the WARP v3 design cycle, but found they didn't significantly improve isolation between RF A/B or between adjacent boards (the only things we measured). We opted to omit them from the production boards to reduce cost and assembly complexity. We don't have a recommended vendor for suitable shields. If you're interested in having shield made I would be happy to extract the exact dimensions from the PCB layout.

Re: Shielding cans

Ok, thanks for that.
Don't worry if you think they wouldn't make much difference.
