Near-Field Shield Effectiveness Evaluation Using H-Field Probe

We compare the shielding effectiveness of various solid metallic shields by direct H-field measurements in the near field of the source.

Impact of a Trace Length on Capacitor Frequency Response

In this article we investigate the frequency behavior of a ceramic capacitor.

Guard Trace Impact on Crosstalk Between PCB Traces

This article discusses the crosstalk reduction between PCB traces by utilizing a guard trace between the traces and investigating the effect of the guard trace grounding.

Radiated Emissions Measurements: OATS and ALSE Methods

This article is devoted to the radiated emissions measurements. These measurements can be performed either at the Open Area Test Site (OATS) or in an Absorber-Lined Shielded Enclosure (ALSE).

Standing Waves on Transmission Lines and VSWR Measurements

The article discusses the behavior of voltage and current waves on a transmission line with different types of loads and explains how to measure the VSWR of an antenna.

Current Probe Measurements in EMC Testing

This article focuses on the current probes used in EMC measurements and testing.

Conducted Emissions Measurements: Voltage Method

This article describes the voltage method of the conducted emissions measurements.

Topology and Characterization of a DC Line Impedance Stabilization Network

This article discusses the topology and characteristics of a dc Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN), often referred to as an Artificial Network (AN).

Human-Body Model and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Tests

Consider a spherical capacitor consisting of two concentric, conducive spheres separated by a dielectric.

Spectra of Digital Clock Signals

Reducing the duty cycle (the pulsewidth) reduces the low-frequency spectral content of the waveform, but does not affect the high-frequency content.
