EMI Cuts A Wide Swath


By Ann Steffora Mutschler Electromagnetic interference (EMI) cuts across all application segments, whether it’s aerospace and defense and its various tangents, or in a handset, virtually touching a large majority of engineering teams today. The reason this issue affects so many engineering groups is because as modulation schemes become ever more complex they become even more sensitive to ... » read more

More EMI Mitigation


With electromagnetic interference a major design challenge today in any product that sends or receives a signal, determining how to lessen the impact of this phenomenon was addressed to a large extent in my article, “EMI Cuts a Wide Swath,” but there are a few additional techniques that are important to highlight. Erick Olsen, marketing director at NXP explained that higher performance c... » read more
