EMI / EMC
• EMI is defined as the undesirable signal which causes
unsatisfactory operation of a circuit or device.
• EMC is defined as the ability of electronic and communication
equipment to be able to operate satisfactorily in the presence of
interference and not be a source of interference to nearby
equipment.
• EMS Electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) is the capability of a
device to respond to EMI.

Basic Types of EMI:
These are of two types. They are
a)Intra-EMI:
EMI is said to be intra-EMI if the functional characteristics of one module within an electronic equipment or system is disturbed due to EMI from another module.
b) Inter-EMI:
EMI is said to be inter-EMI if the functional characteristics of one equipment is disturbed due to EMI generated by another equipment.
B.T.P.MADHAV
EMI SOURCESThese are divided mainly into two types.I. Natural andII. Man-madeI. Natural EMI sources are again of the followingtypes:Terrestrial and Extra-Terrestrial.Terrestrial SourcesThese are atmospheric thunderstorms, lightningdischarges and precipitation static.
Extra-Terrestrial SourcesThese are sun-disturbed & quiet, cosmic noise and radiostars.

The common effects of EMI
(i) Annoying EffectsVery often, momentary and random disturbances inradio and television reception occur.
(ii) Disturbing EffectsUnwanted reset and change of status in settings incomputers and digital equipment is noticed due to EMI.The malfunctioning of computer key boards are noticed.
(iii) Catastrophic SituationsThe burning of electronic components, loss of data,change of threshold settings, improper or unwantedoperations and sometimes biological hazards occur veryoften.

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMI / EMR
EM waves, light, heat, x-ray and gamma rays are all different
forms of electromagnetic radiation.
However, they differ in their wavelength. These radiations have
hazardous effects on men and material.
The effects can be divided into two categories.
1.Thermal Effects
2. Non-thermal Effects.
B.T.P.MADHAV
EMC STANDARDS
These are of two types
a) Military StandardsThese include emission and susceptibility standards. Emission standards specify emission limits in voltage or current, power or field strengths in specified frequency ranges. Susceptibility standards specify conducted spike or radiated field parameters.
b) Civilian Standards
The civilian EMC standards are applicable for equipments used for commercial, industrial and domestic applications. The emission standards are specified to protect the broadcast services from interference. These also take into account the physiological interference effects experienced by human beings.

Shielding :
The main objective of shielding is to restrict radiations to a specified region to prevent it from entering into susceptible devices.
The quality of shielding is expressed in the form of shielding effectiveness of the material.
The shielding of materials can be solids, screens and braids. They can be in the form of boxes, partitions, cables and connector shields.
B.T.P.MADHAV
B.T.P.MADHAV
Grounding :
Grounding provides a conducting path between electronic devices and
ground.
The ground is nothing but some reference point. It is a circuit concept.
The ideal ground is characterized by zero potential and impedance.
GROUNDING is a technique that provides a low resistance path between
electrical or electronic equipment and the earth or common reference
low impedance plane to bypass fault current or EMI signal.

EFFECT OF IMPROPER GROUNDING
B.T.P.MADHAV
The types of grounding techniques are
a) Floating Ground : It isolates circuits from a common ground plane. It may
be hazardous some times.
The ground plane is in the form of wire or a conductive rod.
b) Single – point Grounding : It reduces the effects of facility ground currents.
This is used to control EMP energy.
c) The multiple point grounding : It reduces ground lead lengths.
B.T.P.MADHAV
Bonding :
It provides a low-impedance path between two conducting surfaces. It is a
part of grounding and represents its physical implementation.
It creates homogeneous structure for current flow and suppresses the
creation of potentials between two metallic parts.
Bonding is useful to protect against the effects of shocks, protect circuits from
current return paths.
They reduce potential difference between the devices and carry large faulty
currents.
The bonding is of two types.
Direct bonding is made by metal-to-metal between the connected elements.
Indirect bonding is made by contact using conductive jumpers.

ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS
The isolation transformers are used to suppress the common-mode and differential mode interferences.CM is the unwanted electrical p.d b/w any current carrying conductor and the reference ground.DM is the unwanted p.d b/w any two current carrying conductors.Transformers are used to isolate ground current loops.
B.T.P.MADHAV
The shield facing the primary side is connected to the primary
neutral to suppress DM interference.
The shield facing the secondary side is connected to the
reference ground to suppress CM interference.

Electrical surges are short duration transient waves of current, voltage, or
power on low voltage power supply lines i.e (<1000v rms )
Such transients produce EMI in the practical operation of equipment.
The energy delivered by a surge to a receptor is W =∫ V(t).i(t) dt
The transient that travels along well protected power supply lines and due to
this input stages of the receptors may damage.
There are two categories of transient suppression devices are there
1)Gas discharge tubes.
2)Semiconductor devices.
The nature and shape of the transient interference signal waves change
during propagation through transmission lines.

Gas – Tube surge suppressors
1. The gas discharge tube can handle very large transient currents ( >10KA),
when the tube is connected between the line and the ground.
2. When the transient EMI voltage in line exceeds the striking voltage of the
tube, an arc discharge occurs and the ionized gas produces a low
impedance from line to ground to shunt surge current.
B.T.P.MADHAV
Applications
Because of high current handling capability gas tube surges suppressors
are used in AC power distribution lines and in telecom lines as lightning and
other high energy surge or transient arrestors.
Drawbacks
It’s response time is slow and it can’t be used for fast rise time surges.
The tube remains in the conducting state even after the surge is removed.
Semiconductor Transient suppressors
Semiconductor transient suppression device maintain a constant voltage at a
desired level across a device by offering variable resistance when transient
voltages are present.

• When connected between line and common point , these devices present
very high resistance at normal operating voltage levels.
• when high voltage spikes appear in the AC or DC line the terminal voltage
exceeds the switch on voltage and the resistance decreases rapidly.
ADVANTAGES.
1) Low cost
2) High transient energy absorption
DISADVANTAGES
1) Low average power dissipation.
2) Progressive degradation with repetitive surges
APPLICATIONS
1) Due to high peak current, they used at equipment power input stage.
B.T.P.MADHAV
Component selection
The selection of components can be classified into three categories:
A) Components that affect the RELIABILITY and FUNCTIONALITY .These
Components are marked as RELIABILITY CRITICAL components or
components that MODERATELY affect RELIABILITY.
B) Components that affect the EMI PERFORMANCE are marked as EMI
CRITICAL and EMI
MODERATE.
C) Components that affect the AUDIO PERFORMANCE, e.g. Signal to Noise
Ratio are marked as AUDIO CRITICAL and AUDIO MODERATE.
B.T.P.MADHAV
Signal control
Shielding uses conductive material to wrap up the EMI completely to ground. In this way, electromagnetic energy is kept inside the system. It also gets harder for an external signal to cause EMI into the system. It is useful to both conducting EMI and radiated EMI.
Generally this is an expensive way to protect the sensitive part of the system, and it takes space. It works well for higher frequencies. For clock frequencies or edge rates lower than 100 MHz, EMI is coupled from the clock signal onto the shield and the shield itself does the radiating. In this case, shielding has very little effect.
Good decoupling and careful layout can reduce conducting EMI better than shielding, in most cases. Bypassing or "decoupling" capacitors on each active device (connected across the power supply or ground, as close to the device as possible) help to guide the clock or any other high-frequency signal component directly to ground instead of interfering other signals.

8) Computers
9) Integrated circuits
B.T.P.MADHAV
Transmitters:-
The physical design of the transmitter should be so as to achieve input-output
isolation.
Thus high power stages are physically removed from low level signal stages.
Interstage shielding will help to achieve isolation where physical isolation is not
feasible due to space constraint.
Grounding measures should be applied considering multipoint grounding. Lumped or
distributed constant filters should be used at required source of interference.
The undesired RF paths should be decoupled by the use of bypass capacitors and
series inductors.

B.T.P.MADHAV
Objective :-
To study the behavior of passive components such as resistors, capacitors,
inductors and transformers at various frequencies.
To know the factor affecting the choice of components for high frequency
applications
Passive components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are
powerful tools for reducing externally induced interference when used properly.
B.T.P.MADHAV
INDUCTORS
An inductor or a reactor is a passive electrical
component that can store energy in a magnetic
field created by the electric current passing
through it.
Guide lines for inductors :-Core losses ---- -----Causes Energy losses
1)Eddy currents ------- Amount of energy loss increases with the area inside the
loop of current.
2)Hysteresis ---------- Materials with low coercivity have narrow hysteresis loops
and so low hysteresis losses.
3)Non-linearity -------- E.g.... Intermodulation.
An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically
copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or of ferromagnetic material.

Capacitors are used for charge storage, timing, filtering, blocking, control of
rise and fall times and to provide low impedance paths for high frequency
signals.
Different Types of Capacitors are ------
Capacitors :
1.Electrolytic Capacitors
2.Paper Capacitors
3.Mica and Ceramic Capacitors
4.Polystyrene Capacitors
5.Feed – through Capacitors
Impedance of the Capacitor is )1( CjwR
RjwlRZ
p
pSC
When a bypass capacitor is connected from the signal to ground, the capacitor
impedance decreases as the frequency increases.
Since noise is a high frequency phenomenon, and the impedance is minute at high
frequencies, the capacitor will channel the noise directly to ground, eliminating it from
the circuit.At lower desired frequencies the capacitor appears as an open circuit andthe desired frequencies are allowed to pass the filter.
B.T.P.MADHAV

Incoming noise is converted to heat and dissipated in the resistor. But note
that a fixed resistor does produce thermal noise of its own.
Resistors are grouped into 1) wire-wound 2) Film type 3) Composition-carbon
& mixed
Wire-wound Low noise Composition Noise is more.
Film type Noise is in Between wire-wound and composition.
Resistors :-
Series Resistors Also among the most important and cheapest of protective
elements. Properly selected according to resistance and power dissipation,
they can replace more costly elements, with comparable results.
TRANSFORMERS
Used for voltage and current transformation or level shifting, impedance matching, power transfer and Isolation process
This allows noise coupling through the transformer. This coupling can be
eliminated by providing an electrostatic or Faraday shield
B.T.P.MADHAV
Conductors :-
conductors exhibits intrinsic or internal inductance due to thermal magnetic flux an ac resistance due to skin effect.
Conductors exhibit external inductance giving rise to external magnetic flux.
The external inductance of conductor with diameter ‘d’ located at distance ‘h’ above ground plane is L = 0.2 ln (4h/d) H/m
Wiring Guidelines :-
For the purpose of wiring & signal connection the signals can be divided into
1.Digital & Low current, filtered & regulated power signals.
2.Analog and video signals.
3.High current switching signals
4.AC and unfiltered dc main signals.
B.T.P.MADHAV
1. Wires of different types are not be bundled together.
2. Wire bundles of different types of signals should be physically separated from
each other.
3. Minimum separation is to be 6-8cm.
4. The area of current loops on PCBs and board interconnections should be
minimum.
5. Maximum loop area should be 4cm2.
6. Divide larger loops with smaller loops.
7. Loops and wires should cross at right angles to each other
8. Distance between twisted pairs should be atleast 1.5 times the twist length.
9. Multiple ckts with common return should be twisted as group.
10.Wires between units should follow the most direct route.

OPEN AREA TEST SITES
The measurements of radiated emissions and radiated susceptibility of apparatus ,
equipment constitute two basic electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic
compatibility measurements.
The purpose of radiation susceptibility testing is to determine the degradation in
equipment performance caused by externally coupled electro magnetic energy.
OPEN AREA TEST SITE MEASUREMENTS
Open site measurement is most direct and universally accepted standard approach for
measuring radiated emissions from an equipment or the radiation susceptibility of a
component or equipment
MEASUREMENT OF RE
• EUT is switched on
•The receiver is scanned over the specific frequency range
• It measures electromagnetic emissions from the EUT
• It determine the compliance of these data with the stipulated specifications.

MEASUREMENT OF RS
• EUT is placed in an electromagnetic field created with the help of suitable radiating
antenna.
•The intensity of the electromagnetic field is varied by varying the power delivered to
the antenna by the transmitter amplifier
• performance of EUT are then observed under different levels of electromagnetic field
intensity.

Test Antennas
A convenient approach to illuminate an equipment under test with known field strengths is to used exact half wave length a long dipoles at fixed frequencies.
This arrangement is superior when compared to connecting a test antenna to a signal source using co-axial cable that might distort the field pattern.
Antenna Type Frequency, MHz
Rod antenna 1 - 30
Loop antenna 1 – 30
Biconical antenna 30 – 220
Dipole antenna 30 - 1000
Log periodic antenna 200 -1000
Conical log spiral 200 – 10000
Wave guide horn Above 1000
Measurement Precautions1) Electro magnetic environment
According to American national standards describes that is
conducted and radiated ambient radio noise and signal levels
measured at the test site with the EUT deenergized, be at least 6 db
below the allowable limit of the applicable specification or standard.
2) Electro magnetic scatters
One method fro avoiding interference from underground scatters is to
use a metallic ground plain to eliminate stror reflections from under
ground sources such as buried metallic objects.
3) Power and cable connections
The power needs used to energize the EUT, receiver and transmitter
should also pass through filters to eliminate the conducted
interferences carried by power lines.
