Abstract
Research results on the radiation of MHz to GHz frequency band from 1) a printed circuit board (PCB) and 2) slowly breaking contact (SBC) are discussed as examples of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and reliability problem for electronic systems.
In first part, numerical and experimental results of the common and differential mode radiations from a sample PCB are described. The calculation has been done by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method using super computer. The typical size of a sample PCB under test is 150mm length, 100mm width and 1.53mm thickness made by FR4 material. A model of signal line is microstrip line with 2.8mm width which is matched for 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The results show connection of the PCB and line is important source of the undesired electromagnetic noise.
In second part, experimental results of electromagnetic noise from the breaking switch measured by the current probe and in anechoic chamber are described. The opening speed of the contact is about 100 micron meter per second, the current is 4.5 A, 36 V and the material of the electrodes are mainly silver. It is newly revealed that slowly opening contacts generate very high electromagnetic current and radiation noise more than 1 GHz.
