Why ANSI/ESD S20.20 1-Foot Rule for Charge Generators needs to be Increased to 1-Meter for Aerospace & Defense
INTRODUCTION IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR SECTOR TODAY, ESD sensitive devices can be damaged at <+/-50 volts. Aerospace & Defense cannot issue a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) for an ESD sensitive device that fails in space or a nonfunctioning weapon system in-theatre. The fact that extruded film can charge up to over +/- 100,000 volts below 20% RHhas been … [Read more...]
Mobile Generations Explained
The evolving mobile communications technologies provide us with vastly increasing data rates, faster response times and increasingly fluent means to access more content than ever in the history of telecommunications. Along with the development of the standards, the commercial solutions keep appearing for our selection. Often in this highly dynamic environment, the vast amount … [Read more...]
A Solution to Enhance Reproducibility With Radiated RF Emission and Immunity Measurements?
Mart Coenen EMCMCC, Breda, the Netherlands. Most, if not all electrical and electronic appliances have to be tested on their radiated RF emission and their immunity against RF radiated fields. This radiated testing occurs either on an open area test site (OATS) or in an anechoic or semi-anechoic room (SAR). The electrical and electronic appliance to be measured … [Read more...]
