Minimizing RF PCB electromagnetic emissionstutorialMinimizing RF PCB electromagnetic emissionsLooking for a way to reduce unwanted signal emission from transceivers? One method is to use appropriate PCB layout techniques, including mechanical shielding.By Sean Mercer, Ph.D., C.EngMost countries regulate the permissible levels of signal conduction and/or radiation from RF equipment. Therefore, it is important to consider electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility issues during the product design cycle. This prevents costly and potentially time-consuming fixes toward the end of a development cycle. To reduce the likelihood of undesirable emissions emanating from your product, many design strategies, including simple modeling, can be used [1, 2]. The use of component shielding and shielded printed circuit board (PCB) traces……
