Numbers 291 - 294 are taken from the Appendix to MIL-STD-464A dated 18 March...

This article discusses the basics of a step-down (buck) DC Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS). It should serve at an entry-level tutorial and a building step towards the more advanced designs.

Optical communication can dramatically increase the bandwidth between servers while reducing complexity, power consumption, and cost.

In the past six months, EOS/ESD Association, Inc. released eight new or revised documents on electrical overstress (EOS), grounding, packaging materials, seating (chairs), footwear, hand tools, gloves, and human metal model.

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

Part II of this two-article series focuses on log-periodic and biconical antenna impedance, VSWR, and radiated emissions measurements.

Confusion is created when there is more than one standard to define requirements. For ESD control, this has been the case with a military standard (MIL‑STD‑1686) and ANSI/ESD S20.20.

We’re taking a close-up look at a specific new symbol’s development. This article includes behind-the-scenes insight straight from Geoffrey Peckham, the chairman of ISO/TC 145.

This two-article series is devoted to a dipole family of antennas used in EMC testing: half-wave dipole, quarter-wave monopole, log-periodic, and biconical antenna.

With the advent of wide-spread wireless electronics, the need for high-performance RF components to be built into highly reliable and robust products continues to expand.
