In this paper we discuss state of the art in the field of shielding materials investigation. Two types of newly manufactured shielding materials (nonwoven and fabric) were measured using improved free-space transmission technique at 2-5 GHz depending on electromagnetic wave (EM) polarization and antenna to specimen distance. Results of shielding effectiveness (SE) evaluation based on measured complex transmission coefficients (S21) were presented and compared with SE measured using coaxial transmission line technique. Also results of surface resistance measurements with the four-probe technique for the test materials are shown.
