Uncover the crucial role of LISNs - the unsung heroes ensuring reliable electromagnetic testing in aerospace. This insider look reveals their ingenious design and why standardization matters for replicable results.

A differential probe is an active device used to take measurements of certain circuit elements of electronic devices. They are most often used in conjunction with an oscilloscope. Key features and applications of differential probes are summarized in this article.

You know that feeling when a capacitor’s datasheet claims one thing, but NRTL’s online certification directory tells a different story? This blog is all about that - specifically a capacitor rated X1 and Y1, but the certification directory only showed X1. Moral of the story? Double check those certs early in the game to avoid delays.

Ken Wyatt explores a more advanced troubleshooting tool for assessing radiated emission issues, the RF current probe. These are most useful for measuring RF common mode harmonic currents on cables.

This article is the first of a two-article series devoted to the topic of crosstalk between PCB traces. In Part 1 of the series, we vary circuit topology, i.e., the distance between traces and the distance to the ground plane.

The article discusses ESD protection challenges for RF switches in SOI technology. It examines the self-protection mechanism, proposes a behavioral model to simulate ESD response more accurately, and explores predicting failure current levels critical for reliable ESD design.

We are proud to carry on the tradition of sharing Banana Skins for the purpose of promoting education for EMI/EMC engineers.

"Ham radio still exists? With cell phones?" Well, let me tell you - this hobby is still thriving! Yeah, there's fun stuff like radiosport contests. But more importantly, it lets hams provide crucial emergency comms and advance radio tech when needed.

Committee SC-202, comprised of over 100 members from various industries, was formed to address safety concerns related to the use of transmitting portable electronic devices (T-PEDs) like those with cellular and wireless capabilities on an aircraft.

The 5-Hour Rule, a simple concept many successful people use, is a solution to making the time for honing and developing new skills.
