Junfeng, One additional comment on the reason for the 30 Mhz boundary between = radiated and conducted emissions.=20 Both regulations try to prevent unwanted radiated emissions. But we know = that EUTs that are much smaller than the wavelength will not radiate = directly very well, but they will excite the cables and then the cables = will radiate. Thus, it is sufficient to measure the currents on the = cables. The 30 MHz has been set on a typical EUT size of maybe 1 m. For = radiated and conducted immunity the boundary is set at 80 Mhz but maybe = varied depending on the DUT size.

However = since I wear both the hats, I may be able to give you an answer. The main difference between Conducted and Radiated emissions is in the=20 frequency range. Conducted emissions are measured off the power cord of = your system between 150 kHz and 30 MHz. Radiated emissions are measured = from 30 MHz to 1GHz and higher, depending on the highest frequency being = generated in your system. The main causes of conducted emissions are the switching power supplies, = and low frequency digital circuits (which clock below 30 MHz). The = modern=20 cores run at hundreds of MHz and even GHz, so emissions caused by = digital=20 switching will not show up as conducted emissions. The core switching=20 will cause radiated emissions, which can couple to the outside world=20 through PCB traces, or common-mode coupling from Power and Ground = planes.

Hi, Can anyone tell me the difference between conducted and radiated=20 emission, especially for digital circuits ?? For instance, inside a large size=20 digital core what is responsible for the conducted and what is for radiated=20 emission ? regards, Junfeng ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at:=20 = //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: =20 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: =20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
