Hey, Ihsan,

I've ever seen notes that published in the past in 2002, saying that"we 
learned from NRAO engineers that it is both feasible and advisable to 
physically separate digital circuits from analog systems, and to interpose a 
minimum of two levels of Faraday shielding acting in series." From my point 
of view, it should be easier to employ different EMI solutions for power 
line and signal line separately when the digital/analog grounds are 
separated and connected somehow at a single-point. What will be the problems 
in terms of SI? Welcome your 'fight back' so that I can learn more ;)

Regards,
Celine
