Let’s Talk About… Baluns

What is an antenna Balun? The term balun is a portmanteau (a blending of two words) of balanced/unbalanced – BAL-UN.

The Importance of Checking the Calibration of ESD Simulators

A more thorough “in-between calibration cycle” check of the ESD simulator’s output waveform is something every EMC engineer and technician should consider.

Selecting the Proper RF Amplifier for the Required Field Strength

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.

Let’s Talk About Unconventional EMC Chambers

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.

Let’s Talk About Why Filters Fail

This article looks at some of the reasons why the filters you may think will work often do not when they’re put into real circuits. So… let’s talk about why filters fail.

Let’s Talk About Flexible Absorber Sheets

Let's talk about flexible absorbing materials used for radio frequency (RF) noise suppression and EMC shielding in electronic products such as cell phones, MP3 players, and rugged handheld devices.

Let’s Talk About Real-time Spectrum Analyzers

Many real-time spectrum analyzer solution providers provide in-one-instrument add-ons which allow users to perform both the traditional swept-mode measurements in addition to real-time measurements.

Let’s Talk About Shielding at the PCB Level

This article provides insight into how shielding is used in product development, in particular the effectiveness of shielding when it is applied at the PCB level.
