Following best design practices for controlling EMI will increase your chance of success in your next design. But, sometimes knowing what not to do is just as important.

The extension of operating frequencies in the mmWave region and beyond is the story of wireless development for the next thirty years. Understanding the resulting challenges and improving the state-of-the-art is a key driver for the EMC and wireless Industries. This article takes a look at some of the fundamentals of mmWave, including signal propagation, available spectrum, and challenges and issues facing EMC.

The development of a low-noise emission PCBs is becoming more difficult because of higher integration densities, faster clock cycles, as well as integrating more radiators like wireless capabilities on to the IC. Based on these design challenges, it is essential to get all of the necessary information for the electric parts before they are placed on a customer’s PCB. Read on for advice on how to detect electromagnetic disturbances above ICs.

With the release of emcware® 5.0, AR is making EMC testing more complete, cost effective and reliable.

Benjamin Dannan steps through an in-house process to improve the success rate in EMC compliance testing.

Watch out for those operating frequencies. Here are some tips to avoid EMC emission test failures.

Recently, Signal Integrity Journal caught up with Todd Cutler, Keysight’s VP and General Manager for Design & Test Software about product development, innovation, and the latest developments in SI/PI design.

An increasing number of manufacturers are adding or retrofitting wireless technology into new or existing products. These products typically include mobile, household, industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) devices. This transition towards “everything wireless” is in full swing, and with it comes problems with electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the product itself interfering with sensitive on-board cellular, GPS/GNSS, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth receivers. Read on to find out what to do about it.

SIJ had the opportunity to engage with Larry Williams, ANSYS director of technology, to find out his thoughts on how modeling and simulation needs have changed, how the industry has responded, and what’s next. At ANSYS, Larry Williams is responsible for the strategic direction of the company’s physics simulation products.

I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked to fix an EMC problem, only to find that a shielding box has been designed or purchased to provide XdB up to fMAX. Or a filter has been designed or purchased with a similar specification, but to reduce cost the filter has been mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) inside the box, with a cable from it entering or exiting the box through a plain connector.
