I have electrodes to be tested their characteristics
Here is a picture of them,

And I connected them to USRPs via SMA-SMA cable

However, there is a problem!
I want to know characteristics of just CIRCLE part, except a rod part.
In my experience, this rod part acts as an antenna! Thus, I cannot figure
out exactly

So, I make a shield around the rod part. This shield is made with Aluminum
foil which is used for cooking.

And I expect that the rod part rarely sense electromagnetic wave and thus
only the circle part can receive a signal

The result is like this:

Result without SHIELDING

Result with SHIELDING

That's very weird.
As my knowledge, if there is SHIELDING, the sensitivity of an antenna should
get worse.
But, in my experiment, this SHIELDING helps communication!
I have any idea of it. I got confused

Did I make shielding wrong?
