Arturo Mediano teaches courses on EMC/EMI and Signal Integrity for Besser Associates. He is a frequent contributor to industry magazines and journals on these topics. This article appears in the "Practical Tips" section of InCompliance magazine.

Ferrites for EMI suppression are usually chosen looking for high (resistive) impedance at the frequency of interest; but, sometimes, that ferrite is not working as expected. Perhaps you have saturation effects?

Reducing VHF Radiated EMI with an RC Snubber

Author: 

Arturo Mediano

Instructor Arturo Mediano has published an article with In Compliance magazine on reducing VHF EMI from a flyback power supply.

Usually, EMC design guidelines in flyback literature are related with the switching effects of the output transistor to minimize emissions for conducted tests in the 9 kHz to 30 MHz range. But failure in radiated emissions in the VHF range is typical when testing the product for EMC compliance.

EMI Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers

Author: 

Patrick G. André, Kenneth Wyatt

EMI Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers is a one-stop guide that will help engineers and technicians who have products which fail to meet EMI/EMC regulatory standards. It provides “recipes” of simple, easily implemented, and inexpensive troubleshooting tools or aids that can be built by the engineer or the technician.

Background information on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

As practiced by many: designing for, and understanding EMC has been, and remains an ART more than a Science. However, it needn't be that way; using what you have learned in the proceeding pages, this page will attempt to remove some of the mystery from this subject--but NOT all!
