Shunt Inductive Discontinuity along the Transmission Line and Transmission Lines in Parallel

This article discusses the impact of a shunt inductive discontinuity along the line as well as the effect of feeding two transmission lines in parallel. The analytical results are verified through the HyperLynx simulations and laboratory measurements.

Commercial Versus Automotive ESD Integrated Circuit Qualification: Part 2

This is Part 2 of an article describing the difference between the electrostatic discharge (ESD) qualification requirements for automotive and standard commercial integrated circuits.

Product Liability and Your Safety Labels

Product safety labels are an important part of keeping users safe and reducing liability risk. There are two main standards for safety labels that are key to creating effective warnings that accurately communicate hazard information: ANSI Z535.4 domestically and ISO 3864-2 internationally.

Transmission Line Reflections at a Shunt Resistive and Reactive Discontinuity Along the Line

This article discusses the reflections on a transmission line at a shunt resistive and capacitive discontinuity along the line.

Commercial Versus Automotive ESD Integrated Circuit Qualification, Part 1

Integrated circuits intended for automotive applications have higher electrostatic discharge (ESD) qualification requirements than those intended for commercial and consumer electronics.

Using an AM Radio as an Effective Troubleshooting Tool

An AM radio can be useful for finding both radiated emissions and ESD events. Understanding how radio works is essential for engineers to use this low-cost technology to troubleshoot complex EMI issues.

Banana Skins – October 2022 (#397-403)

During the testing of one aircraft, we suffered a very marked and complete electrical failure of the aircraft (much to the alarm of both the test engineers and the cockpit crew) which turned out to be due to the EUT we were testing.
