Two Directions
• Electrical waves leaving the unit and itscables with H and E Fields = Source ofEMI to other equipment
• Electrical waves entering the unit from theoutside = Electro magnetic Susceptibility

3 Physicists who told us Everything
• Why is EMI a problem today when it wasunderstood in the 18th Centaury to a full.
•• That’s a dammed good Question the
answer is no one stops to think and that’sour problem otherwise nothing ! We callEMI the Product of bad engineering .

Every conductor generates EMI
• H and E Fields are generated by InrushCurrent , switching of heavy loads ,disconnection of heavy loads,commutation, Sine and Square waves,Arcing of high voltages, Static electricity,Short rise times
• An optimal Field is proportional to aperfect impedance

Electrical Disturbances• Switching of high voltages• Switching at high speed or with high speed• Discharging of high voltages• Discharging with high resistance• Is related to Capacitance• EMI at higher frequencies
• The higher the voltage the higher the field• E Fields Capacitance

Important for Frequencies under 3MHz you have to use Iron powder
• The problem is with Iron powder that youcan not cut it , this means that Clap“Ferrites” out of iron powder do not exist !
• This means that if you see a 2 half chokeon a cable its not iron powder whichmeans that the guy who selected it Hopesthat interference is not below 3 MHz.
• That’s Funny in some applications for hewho knows better !

Loss in core Material
• Inductivity, as lower as possible at theapplication frequency
• HF Choke as high as possible at theapplication frequency

2 Modes
• Common mode• Differential Mode

A Simple test
• Place a clap ferrite onto the cable
• The EMI Measured level goes up or Down=Differential mode
• Nothing happens = Common mode
![Page 29: Good engineering not voodoo - ERAC - The European Radio …eracnet.org/congress/2009/park/2009 pdf/-EMI.pdf · · 2010-04-15cables with H and E Fields = Source of ... 3 Physicists](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b0a48dd7f8b9aba628be9cc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Who is normally guilty?
• The most common EMI is Differentialmode this can be eliminated with PI Filters
• The Common mode is a bit harder youneed to use a common mode choke withBifilar windings , the Transient isconverted to a magnetic field in the core

Do you see how a ferrite is also acommon mode choke ?
If you can not increase the number of turns you increase the number of ferrites !

Factors
• 1 A faraday cage is only as good as itsconstruction
• 2 Any cable entering it injects everything ifnot filtered
• 3 As Joints increase their resistance theperformance of the cage in general drops
• 4 The conduction in Siemens of the metalused is proportional to the screeningattenuation value obtainable.
![Page 42: Good engineering not voodoo - ERAC - The European Radio …eracnet.org/congress/2009/park/2009 pdf/-EMI.pdf · · 2010-04-15cables with H and E Fields = Source of ... 3 Physicists](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b0a48dd7f8b9aba628be9cc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Construction• The best way to manufacture a Faraday cage is
to make a box out of silver plated copper and tosilver solder each seam because Copper has avery good conductivity in Siemens and silveroxide Conducts and does not insulate
• If you Use Mesh you loose Attenuation via thecontact resistance of each strand.
• Maximum Attenuation Frequency is dependanton hole or slit Length (Airbus A350 ) meshgauge/ Current Capacity * Conductivity

Cables entering
• Every cable entering or leaving not filteredis a Wide band injection probe connectedto a long antenna. All cables enteringneed either to come in via a dammed goodscreened cable or a filter or both!
![Page 44: Good engineering not voodoo - ERAC - The European Radio …eracnet.org/congress/2009/park/2009 pdf/-EMI.pdf · · 2010-04-15cables with H and E Fields = Source of ... 3 Physicists](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b0a48dd7f8b9aba628be9cc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Joint Resistance
• When making a cage the electricalresistance as well as the air gap of theconnection point between 2 plates is themost important factor effecting screening ,no air gap means no slot antenna seeingoutsides EMI 0.000Ohms means no coilpresent seeing outside
![Page 45: Good engineering not voodoo - ERAC - The European Radio …eracnet.org/congress/2009/park/2009 pdf/-EMI.pdf · · 2010-04-15cables with H and E Fields = Source of ... 3 Physicists](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b0a48dd7f8b9aba628be9cc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The best tool to test for good Screening is a Keithley 2001 Multimeter with 4 PoleCompensated probes . If you read 0.00XX Ohms or better this proves goodconnection , Good grounds are Perfect Shorts to a Designed Reference Ground point

Where is ground ?
• The first test you should perform is to seeif case and ground are connected, theyshould be isolated
• Only at the power supply may case groundand signal ground be connected
• Digital and analogue ground may beconnected together in a unit if a filter isused as well as a tank Circuit.

So what has this got to do withAircraft and Railway trains and
cars• The goal is Electro magnetic disturbance
reduction up to removal of it completely.• This allows a modern world to work faster
higher baud speeds, safer systems, lesserrors and all that.
• It’s a combination of everything and theunderstanding of physics that count.

What is dB or dBm
• dB (Decibel) is a logarithmic value withouta reference , +dB –dB this maybe used toexpress for instance the screening factorof a cabinet -40dB or the gain of anamplifier +12dB.
• dBm is linked to a defined power level theMiliwatt !
0dBm = 1mW, +10dBm= 10mW-10mW=100µW, +40dBm= 10W
![Page 82: Good engineering not voodoo - ERAC - The European Radio …eracnet.org/congress/2009/park/2009 pdf/-EMI.pdf · · 2010-04-15cables with H and E Fields = Source of ... 3 Physicists](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b0a48dd7f8b9aba628be9cc/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
A Few Definitions of Signal levels
• A level of -20 to -30 dBm is considered ahealthy level of EMI where electronicsfunction perfectly , a level of -30dBm(1µW)is the target. Better than -20dBm ishowever the limit .and that’s 10µWatt
• If your electronics is living in a box at ahigher level you are in trouble!

EMI Levels the Crossroads
• The EMI Counter measures you select aredependant on the maximum level in“REALITY” that the electronics will everexpect, If you go cheep here you will neverget out of trouble because you willprobably not be able to upgrade.
• What is the level where you Choose lightcheep or heavy EMI Countermeasures inyour concept ?

Measuring signal level
• To measure Signal level you need an H Fieldprobe as well as an E field probe and aSpectrum Analyser together with a connectioncoaxial cable with a fully closed screen. At besteverything in SMA !
• By using a Bulkhead SMA Connector itspossible to drill a 6mm hole into any enclosureand so insert correctly a probe into the case , theconnector must have a perfect connection to thecase.

• The signal level is the Signal Level *frequency span monitored as Disturbance *Filter bandwidth of the Analyser *Boltzmann's Constant
This value is the total power of your EMINoise floor .

Hi or Low level Concept• If you have a signal level of higher than 1 W then you need good stuff like Beryllium
copper finger material , boxed and groundedfilters , maybe a combination off filters tohammer down a wider spectrum of EMI noise.
If you are under 1W you can use the simple stufflike metal textile band EMI Gaskets, and ferrites
That’s the simple rule of thumb
