Read other posts in the "Elephant in the Test Room" series here.It is looking good for using 3D software to diagnose the performance of the radiated emissions test fixture. Should get the go ahead any day now. Meantime, let’s explore this year’s hot topic. The Annual IEEE EMC Show - Why Dresden?It is no surprise that some USA residents in the EMC industry are wondering why the … [Read more...]
A Report from the Southeastern Michigan EMC Fest
I recently attended the Southeastern Michigan EMC Fest, so this posting is dedicated to the show. I have a lot of admiration for Scott Lytle (Chapter Chair) and the Southeastern Michigan chapter he runs, so I decided to attend this year’s EMC Fest. The key attraction was Doug Smith, who gave attendees the benefit of his wisdom on diagnosing automotive EMC issues.The … [Read more...]
Unwanted Conductive and Radiative Emissions
The last post indicated that RF signal energy coupling from the emitter to the receptor can be by conduction or by radiation and that we would discuss that later. Well it’s later! The two coupling processes are very closely linked. Radiative coupling always starts out as a conductive signal and ends up as a conductive signal. In between and especially at … [Read more...]
