EMC Concepts Explained

Sleeve Dipole Antenna Design and Build

This article describes a practical approach to the design and build of a sleeve dipole antenna mandated by a custom EMC standard.

Balanced-Unbalanced Antenna Structures and Baluns

This article explains the operation of a balun that transforms an unbalanced antenna structure into a balanced one.

Impact of a Decoupling Capacitor in a CMOS Inverter Circuit

This article discusses CMOS inverter switching and shows the impact of a decoupling capacitor on the power rail signal integrity and radiated emissions.

Common-Mode Current Creation and Suppression

This article discusses the creation of a common-mode current in a typical circuit and explains the effectiveness of a common-mode choke on differential-mode and common-mode currents.

EMC Units in Measurements and Testing

This article reviews the decibel units used in EMC laboratory measurements and testing. We begin by defining a decibel (dB) unit and proceed to the EMC specific units for voltage, current, power, and impedance measurements.
