At the equipment design stage, EMI control methods, such as grounding, bonding, filtering and shielding are used for achieving EMC. Conductive gaskets are used to reduce RF leakage at seams and joints, such as front panel mountings and cabinets etc. The shielding effectiveness (SE) of the gasket is a critical parameter which determines the adequacy for use in equipment. This paper describes the use of an indirect method namely the XRF technique, for determining the adequacy of conductive gaskets for use in equipment to reduce radiation related EMI problems.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

A new approach i.e. using a genetic algorithm approach is adopted to synthesize arrays to produce desired beam shapes. This approach has the advantage that several design criteria required to comply with EMC standards can be met in one synthesis procedure simultaneously.

The paper describes a newly developed TEM waveguide, the S-LINE. Test cells known so far can be regarded as widened unsymmetrical coaxial lines with the EUT subjected to the electromagnetic field between the inner and outer conductor. By contrast the S-LINE essentially consists of symmetrical two-wire TEM lines that are arranged in an electrically shielded enclosure. By generating the field with a symmetrical line the cell offers a larger test volume than that of conventional cells. The S-LINE can be employed in the frequency range 150 kHz to 1 GHz and can used for precertification emission and immunity testing during the development of a product.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

It is likely to become more severe in the future, unless designers follow EMI control methodology/techniques to meet the EMC requirements during the design stage itself. The elimination or suppression of EMI should be a prime objective of the designer. In this paper the authors have made an attempt to present technical data/details of various EMI suppression materials/devices available in the market and simplified the job of designers in verifying different catalogues which may be directly applied to the problem and harden the system/subsystem in compliance with EMC standards. As the design and development proceeds, the number of available noise reduction techniques also decreases and at the same time the cost of the mitigating noise goes up. Hence selecting the right component at the right time is essential. This paper gives a quick reference to the designer to reduce the noise at source level in the system during the design and development stages by choosing the appropriate component/device and fixing it correctly into the problem.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.
