Ken Wyatt's blog explores DIY radiated emissions testing. He breaks down the gear you'll need—think spectrum analyzers and special antennas—and shows how to set up your own test space without breaking the bank. It's all about catching EMC issues before the big, pricey lab tests.

While articles and papers have been written in the past concerning the protection of high voltage power grids throughout the world, there has not been sufficient emphasis on the near-term plans to harden existing facilities. This article provides a specific cost-effective approach to protect existing power system assets over time from the threats of HEMP and IEMI.

This study examines the impact of complex magnetic permeability in 3-D simulations of toroidal ferrites and magnetic cores for EMC applications, revealing its importance and limitations at different frequencies.

Explore the impact of the return path impedance and the return current level on common-impedance coupling between circuits. The measurements presented were performed on a custom PCB containing audio, video, and high-current circuitry, where the return paths for each circuit were selectively shared with other circuits.

Humidity control in relation to an ESD control program continues to be misunderstood across the industry. Humidity does help in the reduction of charge accumulation, but it does not control charge accumulation to reduce the risk to sensitive items.

This article discusses using the reciprocity theorem in EMC troubleshooting, particularly for immunity issues. It describes a case study involving a smart meter and demonstrates how emission measurements can help identify susceptibility problems, highlighting the usefulness of walkie-talkies in testing.

Cortec has led the industry in designing two-in-one packaging solutions that meet both needs and today is eager to turn the spotlight on EcoSonic® ESD Paper as a sustainable alternative to standard plastic ESD bags.

Sometimes, it takes time and patience to develop solutions to hard problems. But thankfully, dedicated scientists and researchers are never deterred when facing challenges. Instead, challenges energize them, frequently producing some amazing outcomes.
