PCB design techniques for lowest-cost EMC compliance. Part 2

Abstract

For pt.1 see ibid., vol.8, no. 4, p.185-94 (1999). Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are widely used in electronic equipment and systems. Application of good EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) practices to their design usually helps to achieve compliance with EMC regulations at much lower cost than alternative EMC measures at higher levels of integration, and also improves signal integrity. This paper discusses in detail techniques for improving the power supply of a PCB and using transmission lines.
