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.
Designing with Capacitive Touch for Commodity Applications
This article examines the different parts of capacitive touch design and provides a checklist of what to look for when designing a product.
Estimating Reverberant Electromagnetic Fields in Populated Enclosures by Using the Diffusion Model
The authors predict the internal electromagnetic field of a populated enclosure by using the diffusion model, and compare them with the fields obtained by the power balance method, a full-wave electromagnetic solver and measurements, to demonstrate its efficacy.
Incorporating Lightning Protection into VTOL and Hybrid Propulsion Vehicle Designs
In order to efficiently build a certifiable VTOL aircraft, lightning protection should be incorporated into the design from the beginning.
Improving Medical Devices with Force Sensing Technology
Design engineers integrate force sensors into medical devices to create smart tools that produce quantifiable data.

This article describes the MOV circuit design sequence for the AC mains port overvoltage protection of pluggable type A equipment.
A Discussion on Low-Cost Printed Circuit Board Design
Low-cost designs are often an underserved and challenging part of a layout engineer’s career and getting increasingly complicated.
Do Classical Calculations of Induction Due to Nearby Lightning Give Misleading Results?
Why the effects of nearby lightning might be over-estimated, or in some cases underestimated, and how to get more realistic estimates.
Skin Effect and Surface Currents
Understanding skin effect and surface currents saves us a lot of time and cost in the design of our product’s shielding and filtering, especially for tough EMC standards such as automotive, military or aerospace.
What to Consider When Integrating In-Vehicle Apps
As more automotive manufacturers integrate mobile platforms and applications into their vehicles, they’ll only get smarter.
Or will they?
