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

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.

Crosstalk Reduction Between PCB Traces

When two circuits are in the vicinity of one another, a signal propagating in one circuit can induce a signal in another circuit, due to capacitive (electric field) and/or inductive (magnetic field) coupling between the circuits. This phenomenon is referred to as crosstalk.
