What cause EMI radiation?
1. changing current
2. impedance discontinuity
Assume AC signal on a 50ohm microstrip transmission line with 50ohm termination at the end, is there going to be any radiation?
Thanks
At different frequency, the impedance seen by the signal would differ, hence the transmission line model kicks in. In my view even with the impedance between device well taken care, I often see that device with high speed signals radiate.
A microstrip is a "leaking" transmission line and generally radiating to a certain extent. The effect is increased with a nonunity VWSR respectivly transmission line reflections and discontinuities in the geometry.
Radiated interferences are also caused by ground and power planes acting as antenna.
hi
These are two most important causes but not the all, I think everywhere we have current the potential vectors can exist and thus radiation will occur.
- Semi-rigid vs flexible cable for antenna feed
- Cellular telephone emissions locking-up electronic circuitry ?
- EMC Chamber need in EMC emissions test
- Antenna test using Semiconductor Device Analyzer B1500A Agilent
- small semi-rigid coax with air dielectric
- 2n3904 but with a larger Emitter-Base breakdown voltage
