Wrap it in aluminum foil as a Faraday cage?
- CharlesColeman 8y ago> Wrap it in aluminum foil as a Faraday cage? That's not a practical solution for a car. Basically, the problem is the car's electronics have a cellular modem component, but I want everything besides that to continue to function and receive other radio signals. I can disconnect the antenna plug, but my understanding is that will just make the reception worse but not eliminate it. I'm wondering if there's something simple and safe that would basically act as an anti-antenna, and absorb or interfere with any signals the rest of the electronics manage to pick up or transmit. I don't know much about electronics, but I was thinking maybe some kind of passive component, like a capacitor or resistor, might be able to soak up any residual signal.
