How hard is it to shield electronics from a microwave blast? What impact would surrounding them in alfoil have?
- K0balt 5y agoPretty easy to protect electronics from rf energy.
- korse 5y agoYes it is, but most consumer drone hardware doesn't do a very good job of it. Also, most drones require a a couple of RF/EM sensors for position and heading which can't exactly be Faraday caged. I was being somewhat facetious about mounting a microwave auto-turret on your house, but the technology has been toyed with for years as a man-portable solution to consumer drone intrusion.
- K0balt 5y agoYeah, it would need to be customized for sure. Antennas can be filtered pretty effectively even in high rf environments, but they might be jammed. The Magnetometer will work in a box. Straight consumer drones should be easy to disable though.
- kova12 5y agoShielding might end up warming up and frying device with heat
- snovv_crash 5y agoNot if it also needs to have an antenna to listen with. That's always going to be an easy way in.
- K0balt 5y agoStill, can clamp it as long as the attacking frequency is out of band. Also, no real need for telemetry in most cases anyway.
- snovv_crash 5y agoNot telemetry, but usually C&C, GPS, etc.
