Troubleshooting Radiated Immunity for Medical Products – Case Study
Introduction Companies making medical products have much more stringent requirements now that the new IEC 60601-1-2 (Edition 4) became effective June 17, 2017. One of the many changes included increased radiated immunity requirements in several specific wireless and communications bands (Table 1). Highlights of all the changes are included in Interference Technology’s free … [Read more...]
Selecting the Proper EMI Filter Circuit For Military and Defense Applications
Introduction Insertion loss, the term used to express a filter’s ability to reduce or attenuate unwanted signals, has traditionally been measured in a 50 ohm source and 50 ohm load impedance condition, as standardized in MIL-STD-220. In this matched 50 ohm impedance condition, various types of filter circuit configurations, single capacitor, “L’s”, “PI’s”, and “T’s”, will … [Read more...]
EMP/HEMP Filter Meets Mil-STD-188-125, E1 & E2 Pulse Test Requirements
API Technologies’ model 52-1700-XXX High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Filters are designed to protect sensitive electronics equipment during hazardous transient conditions. They are employed to absorb a potentially destructive overshoot voltage. Under normal operating conditions, the suppressor circuit exhibits high off state impedance that appears transparent to … [Read more...]
Input Filters – The Key to Successful EMC Validation
Co-authored by: Ranjith Bramanpalli & Steffen Schulze Würth Elektronik INTRODUCTION Input filters are today as ever a requisite factor for successful EMC validation of switching controllers, irrespective of the size of the AC component involved. Switching controllers create conducted EMC interferences due to AC components in their lines, independent of their individual … [Read more...]
EMI Troubleshooting – Step-By-Step
In this article, I’ll describe the steps I usually take to troubleshoot the top four EMI issues, conducted emissions, radiated emissions, radiated immunity, and electrostatic discharge. Of these, the last three are the most prevalent issues, with radiated emissions typically being the number one failure. If your product or system (EUT) has adequate power and I/O port filtering, … [Read more...]
