Abstract
A shielding device for an electronic component for use in a vehicle. The electronic component is positioned on the vehicle and generates an electromagnetic wave. A conductive panel is positioned between the electronic component and an antenna and substantially covers the electronic component. A ground wire is connected to the conductive panel and the vehicle so as to establish a ground connection for the electromagnetic wave.
