Method of Moments - In Compliance Magazine

« Back to Glossary Index

A method of estimation of population parameters such as mean, variance, median, etc. (which need not be moments), by equating sample moments with unobservable population moments and then solving those equations for the quantities to be estimated.

Investigation into the Errors Introduced by Performing EN 61000-4-3 Test Set-up Verification Using Multiple E Field Probes
Do Measurements Validate Simulations?
It is very common for people doing simulations to make a measurement of a similar set up to validate the simulation. This is a reasonable precaution since modern simulation tools will give a very accurate answer to whatever question it is asked.
What Every Electronics Engineer Needs to Know About: Simulation Software
Engineers should not overlook modeling and simulation as an important and viable tool in developing products that have to meet EMC compliance requirements.
Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Compliance
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electronic equipment to function properly without interference from noise sources and without causing disturbances to other electronic equipment. This article will help the reader understand the modes of electrical noise propagation, how fields interact, and the methods of testing for EMC, helping to provide the basis for designing low-emissions, low-susceptibility electronic equipment.
Electromagnetic Analysis of Cable Harnesses in an Automotive Environment
This article shows how electromagnetic simulation tools can be used to investigate effects of high-speed signals in cable harnesses in a vehicle: cross talk, radiation and interference with a receiving antenna. Results are presented for two types of digital sequences and compared with standards. Cable shielding is designed to be adequate without adding unnecessary weight.
