Theoretically (I do have no practical experience with HF) a low Z groundplane
as a part of the pcb should create a shielded zone up to 1/10th of the HF wavelength
in height.
If all components are inside of this zone, they are shielded.

I guess this is AM ?

To detect the effect of demodulated HF instead of only a seemingly drifting
offset voltage ?
