In this article, the author will identify two major types of single-conductor structure resonances and describe some case studies for both. He will then describe how design projects can quickly and easily be ‘de-risked’ from the possibilities of suffering either type of resonance by the use of low-cost field and circuit simulators and/or low-cost bench testing on physical ‘mock-ups’.

This article provides practical guidance on the implementation of the SEMI E176 standard for managing EMI in a semiconductor manufacturing environment and device handling such as printed circuit board assembly.
