The basics: What is EMC? - Electrical Engineering News and Products
WEBJan 12, 2022 — EMC stands for Electromagnetic compatibility, which means that a device is compatible with (i.e., no interference is caused by) its electromagnetic (EM) environment. It does not emit levels of EM energy that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices in the vicinity. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the interference ...
Jeff Shepard, Author at Electrical Engineering News and Products
WEBAug 16, 2024 — July 25, 2024 By Jeff Shepard. The high-performance computing platforms used for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in hyperscale data centers need high-speed interconnects like 112 Gbps PAM 4 and faster inside the servers. High-speed interconnects are also required between the servers and storage devices.

MIM/MOM capacitor extraction boosts analog and RF designs
WEBApr 29, 2020 — MIM/MOM capacitors. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitors are widely used in analog/RF designs because of their desirable characteristics: High-capacity density due to minimum width and spacing of metals. Good matching characteristics due to lateral coupling. Symmetric plate design.

Flyback power converters, Part 1: basic principles
WEBApr 15, 2019 — A: A flyback converter is a simple implementation of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS), and it can be designed to deliver a DC output from either an AC or DC input, with outputs both lower and higher than the supply source (buck/boost operation). It has two distinct operating phases, with a basic principle that power from the input side is ...
Basics of understanding signal jamming: What you need to know
WEBMar 6, 2019 — Many of the sophisticated advances in signal jamming arose from work with radar. So it is useful to start with a review of a few radar fundamentals. The idea of radar, of course, is that a target reflects some of the energy of a transmitted signal. The returned energy is received and processed to detect the target and extract its location and ...
Magnetron, Part 1: Application and operating principles
WEBJul 23, 2019 — Magnetron, Part 1: Application and operating principles. July 23, 2019 By Bill Schweber 1 Comment. The vacuum-tube cavity magnetron is nearly obsolete (except for the millions in consumer microwave oven. Its development was key to highly effective WWII radar, and it also led to other RF/microwave vacuum-tube devices.
What is a Smith Chart and why do I need one? (Part 1)
WEBFeb 2, 2023 — A Smith chart provides insight into RF/microwave designs. Even if you work primarily with low-speed analog and mixed-signal designs, you could benefit from familiarity with the Smith chart as wireless products proliferate and as high-speed-serial data signals exhibit microwave-like effects. Figure 1. With a lumped-element impedance model ...
