Italian term
isolare
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
radio signals
I need to know the correct translation of this term in the context of radio transmission/reception.
"Si è verificato sperimentalmente che un dispositivo del tipo sopra citato, ed in particolare un sacchetto avente le caratteristiche rappresentate in figura, è atto a isolare sia in ricezione che in trasmissione un identificatore del tipo “Telpass” in esso inserito (come mostrato in figura 3)."
The invention concerns a metallic bag which can be used to "silence" automatic motorway toll transceivers.
If this was purely electrical, I would translate it as "insulate" but I'm not sure if this is the term to be used for silencing a radio signal.
Suggestions please!
