Fundamental Oscilloscope Probes
As electronics have become more advanced, so has the equipment used to measure their signal behavior and system performance. In the realm of EMC compliance, oscilloscopes are one of the important tools used to measure signals, hunt down noise sources, and identify time-domain measurements that may contribute to radiated or conducted emissions. Without a properly selected probe, … [Read more...]
The Voltage Rises
Santa Rosa, California, July 24th, 2023 – In the past, automobiles had minimal electrical systems and relied mainly on mechanical systems. Today, there are many electrical functions such as seat heating and cooling, comfort systems, and assistance systems that draw a lot of electricity from the battery. In a 12V vehicle electrical system, higher and higher currents must flow. … [Read more...]
Radiated Emissions Testing
INTRODUCTION Radiated emissions testing is only one part of emissions testing. CISPR 32, the document that lays out limits and methods of measurement for emissions (radiated and conducted) for Information Technology Equipment (ITE), broadcast receivers and multimedia equipment is 120 pages in length. ANSI C63.4 deals with only the testing part (limits are contained in a … [Read more...]

Protecting RF, Receiver, Analog and Control Line Input Circuits Against The RTCA DO-160 Pin Injection Lightning Test
ABSTRACT Circuits are described that effectively protect RF, receiver, analog, and control line input circuits from three types of transient injection, described in DO-160, directly into the input pin of the connector. The goal was to achieve a circuit which would not adversely affect the performance of the RF circuit over an input frequency range of 20MHz to above 1GHz … [Read more...]
The Vital Role Of Simulation For Virtual EMI And EMC Test Environments
Before deploying microwave and millimeter-wave devices and systems within 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and high-speed wireless communication, it is essential to predict their performance. This need has increased the demand for virtual test platforms through simulation software. High carrier and system bus frequencies are necessary for high-data-rate communication … [Read more...]
