To the uninitiated, knowing what antenna to use for EMC radiated emissions and radiated...

Trace length does more to a capacitor's frequency response than most engineers assume. This study puts three connecting trace lengths through simulation and measurement, tracking how each shifts the self-resonant frequency and threatens decoupling performance at the frequencies that matter most.

Struggling with radiated EMC failures but can't redesign your PCB layout? Learn how the decades old mirror technique uses a simple metal plane to cut radiated emissions by up to 10dB, without touching your board.

We hope you enjoy the column and look forward to continuing the tradition of sharing these valuable stories.

The Industry 4.0 IoT platform automatically becomes a reliable and dependable venue for compliance verification, eliminating the traditional way of tedious predefined period manual checks.

Verification of electrical safety testing equipment is a procedure that is often overlooked by manufacturers. Running test verification is crucial to ensuring that a safety device will properly detect product failures. While the task of setting up a test verification can seem daunting, it’s a simple matter of having the necessary equipment and procedures in place so that the process is easy to follow.

ESD qualification requirements for systems rely heavily on discharge models such as IEC61000-4-2.

The FCC updated its equipment authorization procedures and rules in a number of significant ways.

Maintaining the resilience of all critical infrastructure segments, including the electric grid, sensitive data centers and vital communication channels, has become a growing concern globally as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events continue to threaten society and the operation of business and life as we know it.

This article is a brief guide to identifying and troubleshooting Signal Integrity issues.
