Understanding grounding, shielding, and guarding in high ... - EDN
February 15, 2013. by James Niemann. Comment 1. Advertisement. Inadequate shielding and bad grounding are often blamed when measurements are inaccurate, especially in high-impedance applications. In fact, shielding and grounding problems are frequently responsible for measurement errors, but many test system developers aren’t quite sure why.
