In March 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules to facilitate the deployment of supplemental coverage from space (SCS). The new rules are intended to serve several important public interest goals for the Nation and expand the reach of […]
Differential-mode (DM) and Common-mode (CM) Wanted signals are always DM: they flow along the ‘send’ conductor, and flow back along the ‘return’ conductor(s). In single-ended signalling, all the return currents share a common conducting structure, usually the 0V of the […]
The Importance of the RF Reference The RF Reference is the node on a circuit’s schematic that we define as our reference voltage when designing an RF circuit or measuring its performance. For the most cost-effective EMC, all circuits (digital, […]
Ignoring all the poles and zeroes in the filter textbooks: filters work by creating an intentional discontinuity in the characteristic impedance of a current path, reflecting radio frequency (RF) energy away from a protected circuit, or absorbing the RF energy […]
Background With the trending small size of electronic devices coupled with higher data speeds, there is a merging of the increasing physical closeness among components and the shrinking wavelengths associated with higher speeds. As wavelengths shrink, they approach the physical […]
Introduction The European EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) was updated in 2014, replacing the old directive (2008/108/EC) and became mandatory from April 2016 for any new product entering the EU from that date onwards. The change of directive was aimed at aligning […]
