An Isotropic Probe for Radiated Susceptibility Measurements from 10kHz to 18GHz and 5V/m to 220V/m
Abstract: Isotropic probes are available for radiated susceptibility test level measurements from 100kHz to 6GHz, 2MHz to 18GHz, 2MHz to 40GHz and 2MHz to 60GHz. For MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 testing a frequency range of 10kHz to 18GHz would be better and a possible solution is presented here. Introduction The probe described in this paper has three separate sections, … [Read more...]
Functional Safety, Risk Management, EMC and EMI
What is Functional Safety? The safety of products, systems and installations can be split into two parts: i) ‘Basic’ safety: electric shock, excessive temperatures, excessive radiation, fire, explosion, implosion, bruising, pinching, crushing, cutting, emissions of toxic fumes, etc. ii) ‘Functional’ safety: when things being controlled don’t function correctly … [Read more...]
EMC Confidence Checking
I was recently working with a manufacturer of stand-alone ticket machines, who had big problems with Ethernet-related emissions. Long story short – it was the Ethernet hub they had incorporated in their machine. They had assumed that all CE-marked Ethernet hubs would be equally good for EMC, and they had several different types lying around their design department. We tested … [Read more...]
Key Points to Remember While Choosing PCB Assembly Company
Once you have designed a PCB and have completed everything that needs to be done before the assembly process, you would require a PCB assembly company to assemble your PCB without any problems. After all, you've been working considerably hard to assemble the layout and the design of the PCB. You would want to be convinced that your PCB gets well-assembled. To ensure that the … [Read more...]
Review: EMI Devices Harmonic Comb Generator
Harmonic comb generators are handy tools for validating open area test sites or semi-anechoic chambers and I've written extensively on how to use these for various other applications (see References). Harmonic comb generators produce a range of narrow band harmonics that are typically very stable in amplitude and frequency. One of the major uses is to position one in place … [Read more...]

ESD Testing Needs to Change to Reflect Real-Life
Semiconductor die shrinking means that 0.7ns risetimes are now too slow Electrostatic discharges in the real world cover a very wide range: from relatively slow high-voltage events (say, > 1kV peak) to extremely fast low-voltage events (say, < 1kV peak). The figure shown is of the transient field radiated by a micro-gap discharge between two coins – more on this … [Read more...]
