In military and aerospace systems, interconnect failure isn’t just an inconvenience; it can mean mission failure, equipment loss worth millions of dollars, or in the worst case, loss of life. Every connection between circuit boards represents a potential point of failure that must withstand extreme environmental conditions while maintaining signal integrity and EMC … [Read more...]
Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice With an EMC Demonstration System
INTRODUCTION Those graduating from university are often not trained in EMC. When they are, they are most likely trained very well in the theoretical aspects of EMC or at least some physics. However, they often lack the ability to apply these theories to gain a hands-on understanding of EMC principles. I have seen both junior and senior engineers … [Read more...]

How to Not Die in an EMC Lab
There are risks in every work environment: risks to humans, risks to equipment, risks to things you might be testing, and risks to customers’ equipment. Such is the case in an EMC lab, which is typically an ever-changing environment with moving parts, equipment, people, and projects. From day to day, EMI personnel can be working on military equipment worth millions of … [Read more...]
Navigating Signal Integrity in Chiplet Designs
As the semiconductor industry embraces the chiplet design approach, electrical engineers are witnessing a significant shift in how performance, cost efficiency, and scalability are achieved. While this modular design philosophy offers advantages, it also introduces challenges to signal integrity (SI). For EMI/EMC engineers, the awareness of these signal integrity challenges is … [Read more...]

SI Metrics That Have Taken Us to 224G
In the world of signal integrity, we rely on many important metrics to qualify high-speed channel designs, both before prototyping and during prototype testing. There is a common group of signal integrity metrics that appear in high-speed digital interface standards and which need to be implemented in printed circuit boards and packages. These signal integrity metrics … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Eliminate Ground Loops — Part 2
As we discussed in Part 1, Ground Loops, while often not obvious, can be a significant source of frustration for system operators and integrators. This phenomenon manifests as unwanted electrical noise – audible hums in speakers, jitter on screens, noisy measurements, and bad measurement data – and it can even lead to unexpected communications loss and equipment … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Eliminate Ground Loops — Part 1
A Brief Introduction Most workers already know that proper grounding is a fundamental safety precaution for all kinds of electrical equipment. However, it’s less well known that while grounding can prevent and resolve many safety and power issues, improper grounding can create problems in data logging, data acquisition, and measurement and control systems. One of the most … [Read more...]
