A Short History Of A Few ITEM Issues
1977 My first issue of ITEM (Interference Technology Engineers Master) is from 1977. Was this the first issue of ITEM? No, it was not. However, it was my first issue. Why? I got my start in EMC in 1976 while working for the US Navy and was too late to get the 1976 issue. I graduated from college in 1975 and moved from Code 2330 (Nuclear Controls Engineering Division) at Mare … [Read more...]
A Novel Concept in Circuit Protection for Avionics and Other Extreme Applications

Telecommunication Testing On Relevant RF Components
Introduction The telecom industry has undergone rapid development in the past several decades. Digital communications methods have advanced, requiring increased bandwidth and frequency coverage. This advancement has complicated an RF measurement system’s capability to accurately characterize system components. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) provides modern … [Read more...]
A Simple Guide to Antenna Selection
INTRODUCTION Selecting an antenna for testing can sometimes be straightforward but often requires some specific consideration. One aspect in antenna selection is knowing the intended test frequencies and then selecting a matching antenna. Not all antennas are created equal, and when it comes to frequency different antenna styles perform better at some frequencies and … [Read more...]

5 Ways to Eliminate Ground Loops – Part 1
A Brief Introduction Most workers already know that proper grounding is a fundamental safety precaution for all kinds of electrical equipment. However, it’s less well known that while grounding can prevent and resolve many safety and power issues, improper grounding can create problems in data logging, data acquisition, and measurement and control systems. One of the … [Read more...]
Things Not On the Schematic: How the Parasitic Element Affect Results
The engineer had found the use of a capacitor on a specific trace would solve a radiated emissions issue. However, placement on the connector where we put the capacitor during engineering work was not a production solution. So, the capacitor which was moved less than 1 inch away from the connector and turned sideways to fit on the circuit board. However, this degraded the … [Read more...]
EMC Design in Power Electronics Part 2: Noise Coupling Mechanisms
In the previous article of this series, we looked at some of the major noise considerations in different power regulator topologies. Noise from these sources eventually makes its way to other components, and it could interfere with other portions of a system. Depending on the types of components used elsewhere in the system, noise may be innocuous or it may cause a design to … [Read more...]
