In addition, decoupling cap with CMOS process can decrease EMI spectrum without any further mask. The analysis of the proposed design shows that LCD driver IC can be alternatives for TFT-LCD EMC solution. It is because LCD driver IC is nearly irrelevant to LCD module whereas source PCB should be redesigned separately according to the size and resolution of LCD panel.

Using this method, the lightning surge impedance of the full scale UHV tower with grounding system is analyzed and the results show that the lightning surge impedance of a tower on the perfect ground has a little difference with those of an actual tower considering both its grounding system and soil resistivity, and when the soil resistivity is changed, the surge impedance changes slightly.
