An apparatus for electromagnetic interference shielding is described herein. The apparatus includes an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure. The EBG structure is attached to a surface of the apparatus such that noise propagation is mitigated. The apparatus may be a chassis of an electronic device, and the EBG structure may be attached to one surface of the chassis. Further, the apparatus may be a heat sink, and the EBG structure can be attached to one surface of the heat sink.
