Effectiveness of a Triaxial Cable Using Pigtails to Terminate the Outer Shield to Chassis Versus a Coaxial Cable With the Shield
Introduction Although it should be well known that the shielding effectiveness of a cable is severely compromised when it is terminated to ground with pigtail/s many equipment manufacturers still use this technique. We see in Reference 1 Figure 7.66 and Table 7.4, Figure 7.80, and Figure 7.102 that the shielding effectiveness of a coaxial cable with pigtail terminations may … [Read more...]

Seven Fundamental Considerations for Selecting EMI Filters
By Rigoberto Rios, Jorge Varela, and Amanda Ison Virtually every electronic device is subject to and, to at least some degree, must be protected from electromagnetic interference (EMI), or electrical noise. EMI is generated by both naturally occurring and engineered sources ranging from solar flares to cell phones, and, if left unmitigated, diminishes the integrity and … [Read more...]

New AR Amplifier Spans 10 kHz to 400 MHz Range With 1000 Watts of Power
AR's new amplifier, Model 1000A400, provides CW power up to 1000 watts, covering 10 kHz-400 MHz. In conjunction with AR's accessories and antennas, the 1000A400 is optimal for reaching today's higher radiated and conducted susceptibility test levels, such as the increased conducted immunity test levels of composite aircraft in the frequency range of 10 kHz-400 MHz, along with … [Read more...]
Circuit Level Design and Test for the MIL-STD-461 200 V/m RS103 and the DO-160 Radiated Susceptibility Test at 200 V/m
Introduction For Army, Navy, and Air Force military equipment and DO-160 commercial aircraft avionics, radiated susceptibility test levels as high as 200 V/m may be specified. As always, it is better to design immunity to the test levels into equipment than to wait until equipment is completed and then perform tests. This article assumes the worst-case qualification test … [Read more...]
