Faraday Cage When a car or plane is struck by lightening the metal body acts as a Faraday Cage, excluding electric fields from the inside.

The platted wire surround of a coaxial cable shields the inner wire from unwanted electrical signals.

Tele Satellite International, March 2003, reports that Iranian authorities are jamming incoming international Q-band satellite signals with very high energy microwave emissions.

Solution! - a wire mesh Faraday Cage. To effectively keep the jamming signals outside the cage. The holes must be one quarter wavelength or less in diameter. In this case, with a 12.5 Gigahertz signal, that is 0.7 cm.
