Diagnosing And Modeling Common-Mode Radiation From Printed Circuit Boards With Attached Cables, James L. Drewniak, Fei Sha, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, J. Shaw Aug 1995

Diagnosing And Modeling Common-Mode Radiation From Printed Circuit Boards With Attached Cables, James L. Drewniak, Fei Sha, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, J. Shaw

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A procedure for diagnosing and modeling radiation from printed circuit boards with attached cables is presented through a case study of a production model electronic control unit. Procedures for determining EMI antennas, IC sources, and mechanisms by which noise is coupled from the IC source to the antenna are suggested.

The analysis of shielding enclosures is complicated by the existence of apertures and cables. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method can model shielding enclosures with complex geometries, but has difficulty modeling wires and cables of arbitrary radii. Modeling the wire by setting the axial component of the electric field to zero in the FDTD results in a wire with a radius determined by the mesh discretisation. Neglecting wire radius in applications such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or printed circuit board modeling may result in gross errors because near field quantities are typically sensitive to wire thickness. Taflove (1990) developed a wire …


A Comparison Of Fdtd Algorithms For Subcellular Modeling Of Slots In Shielding Enclosures, Kuang-Ping Ma, James L. Drewniak Aug 1995

A Comparison Of Fdtd Algorithms For Subcellular Modeling Of Slots In Shielding Enclosures, Kuang-Ping Ma, James L. Drewniak

Thin slot modeling for the finite-difference time-domain (PDTD) method is investigated. Two subcellular algorithms for modeling thin slots with the FDTD method are compared for application to shielding enclosures in EMC. The stability of the algorithms is investigated, and comparisons between the two methods for slots in planes, and slots in loaded cavities are also made.


A Unified Topological Approach To Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Protection, George H. Baker, J. Philip Castillo, Edward F. Vance Jun 1995

A Unified Topological Approach To Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Protection, George H. Baker, J. Philip Castillo, Edward F. Vance

George H Baker

The presentation recommends an approach for unifying electronic system protection designs for a wide spectrum of electromagnetic environments. A general electromagnetic topological construct is developed as the basis for a consistent shielding and terminal protection methodology. Spectral characteristics of multiple interfering electromagnetic sources, both internal and external, are described. Effects addressed include EMI/EMC, lightning, nuclear EMP, and RF weapons. Protection practices for individual effects are discussed and means for integrating these into a single protection topology.
