In this article, square unshielded wire loops are compared to shielded solutions including simple techniques to build them in your lab. Some examples are included to show that unshielded loops often work as well as shielded loops in some applications, especially for injecting signals into circuits.

ESD simulators with specific characteristics can be used to precisely measure high voltage breakdown in circuits, helping identify equipment failures and compliance issues.
