Measuring Cable Resonances With A Comb Generator
(October 28, 2016) Cables are one of the key metallic structures on a product that can act as an antenna and couple energy, causing radiated emissions and possible compliance test failures. This has been discussed extensively in the literature on product design for EMI compliance. In many cases, they can resonate at their half-wave frequency and actually amplify any harmonic … [Read more...]
