INTRODUCTION EMC design guidelines have always been a popular subject in the EMC design community. What is the most important EMC design guideline, i.e. the guideline with the highest impact on the emission and immunity of electronic circuitry? Studying books and literature from renowned EMC experts often tells us that the most important EMC design guideline is: … [Read more...]
Cost-Effectively Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility in the Age of IoT
Wireless/RF is ubiquitous, so implement a pre-compliance regimen with off-the-shelf equipment. Every electronic product has to go through full electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing to get the much-coveted stamp of approval from the various regulatory bodies. This has traditionally been a costly undertaking with multiple trips to a distant testing facility, with … [Read more...]

Interview: Dr. Ralf Heinrich discusses the new IEC 61000-4-31 immunity standard
Does your product use AC mains <16A? IEC 61000-4-31 relates to the conducted immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to electromagnetic disturbances coming from intended and/or unintended broadband signal sources in the frequency range 150 kHz up to 80 MHz. In this blog post, Kenneth Wyatt, Senior Technical Editor at Interference Technology, spends some … [Read more...]
Classical Shielding Theory vs. Near-Field Measurements
This article addresses the fundamental concepts underlying the classical shielding theory based on Schelkunoff’s equations [1]. In order to assess the applicability of these equations, an understanding of their origin, assumptions made in their derivations, and their limitations, are needed. This tutorial article addresses each of these points. The goal is not to show the … [Read more...]
