EMC Software Summary PageTechnical Tips and Papers on EMC Related IssuesThe idea here is to provide some unbiased, independent technical input on EMC matters, which might help someone. They will all be written by myself, Dr Jeff Chambers, and there's no charge! New for April 2004 - Understanding Common Mode Interference. Feedthrough Filter Problems and Pitfalls Feedthrough Filters show no self-resonances, and provide good attenuation to frequencies as high as the GHz range. However, handling and specification issues can cause some unwelcome problems. This paper details something of what can go wrong. EMI Suppression Filters and Pulses Filter performance is invariably specified in terms of insertion loss in a 50 ohm system, representing sinusoidal waveform voltage reduction. Filters however are frequently subject to unintended transient waveforms, and also to digital signals on data lines. What effect do emi suppression filters have on such waveforms? This paper examines a number of scenarios. Aperture Attenuation This is a short summary of the attenuation provided by an opening in a thin-walled, shielded, enclosure. A handy look-up table is provided, providing the frequency where a given attenuation level is predicted, for a range of aperture sizes. Understanding Common Mode Interference An introduction to the basics of common mode coupling effects, without excessive use of mathematical expressions. The aim of this papert is to get across the basic ideas. Just published in ITEM 2004! There is no charge to view these papers, but would you please take a moment to
