Myth vs. Reality: Common-Mode Field Transfer – Coupling Between Circuit Boards and Conductive Chassis Structures

This document discusses the myth that digital circuit boards can be isolated from conductive chassis structures, explaining the reality that they are always coupled through distributed capacitance and transmission line effects.

Technology Advancements in Board Level Shields for EMI Mitigation: Not Your Daddy’s Metal Can

PC Board EMI

If properly done, PC board (PCB) design control techniques can be the most cost effective means of resolving EMI issues.

Single Antenna Measurement Using Gated Time Domain and The Mirror Method

This article provides a basis for using gated time domain and a highly reflective mirror to measure the gain, phase, beamwidth and radiation pattern of broadband antennas. The tests were completed using the Anritsu VectorStar VNA. The speed and data points (100,000) make possible high resolution in time domain. Three commercial reference horns were measured and an aperture and mirror conductivity correction applied. The resulting data agreed reasonably well with the published data. Two additional classical methods were also performed for validation.

Fifty-Year Old EMI Testing Problems Solved!

There have been inherent problems with audio frequency conducted susceptibility tests since their inception. Some issues are resolved using a novel but inexpensive transducer.

Lightning Induced Ground Potential Rise (GPR)

Select the most suitable waveforms for evaluating equipment resistibility to lightning damage when a GPR is either the suspected source of the damage, or its effects are to be tested for.
