Heat-shrink tubing can provide a versatile EMI shielding solution. Emil E. Millas Methode Development Company Chicago, IL, USA With the proliferation of and demand for high-speed computer and data communications equipment, the susceptibility of such equipment to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) has become a growing problem and … [Read more...]
Integrated Inductive Component Reduces Radiated Emissions in Power Applications
The geometry of magnetic components can affect the incidence of unwanted low frequency radiation in the magnetic field. Gabriel Arianes, David Castillo, Raquel Garcia and Oscar Perez; Ferroxcube, Guadalajara, Spain INTRODUCTION The miniaturization trend has resulted in smaller components and greater board densities in electronic applications. This very density, which … [Read more...]
Photonic Bandgap Structures and Their Application to EMC Antennas
PBG structures have been explored as a way of reducing harmonics. Vincente Rodríguez-Pereyra, Ph.D., ETS-Lindgren The concept of photonic structures has recently been applied to the study of the microwave frequency (MW) range [1, 2]. Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures are analogous to a crystal lattice. It is known that in natural crystals there are certain non-occurring or … [Read more...]
