Amplifier

More power costs more money when it comes to broadband power amplifiers, so we typically only specify/buy to meet our current needs rather than what we may need in the future.

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’.

The regular “Banana Skins” column was published in the EMC Journal, starting in January 1998.

In this article we will address less mainstream, non-typical EMC test chambers that are often used in automotive, military, and other pre-compliance types of test environments.

The Banana Skin columns were compiled by Keith Armstrong, of Cherry Clough Consultants Ltd.
