[SI-LIST] Re: Traces don't cause EMI - really?

Lee,

I think you need to describe your measurement setup so that we clearly 
understand what you are talking about.

For example, you need to describe the following:

- transmission line type (microstrip, stripline, etc.)
- transmission line geometry (trace length, trace width, height above 
plane, trace/plane thickness, etc.)
- material parameters (substrate, conductors, etc)
- frequency range of measurement
- excitation source
- transmission line termination conditions (both ends)
- field probing technique  (near-field? far-field? how was that measured?)
- what you mean by "significant emissions"? - give a limit e.g. 20dB 
below FCC Class B)

Regards.

Hassan.
