Hi Everyone,
Just finished up my first Technical Tidbit article for the new year,
discussing common mode current measurements. Here are the details:
Technical Tidbit - January 2012
Measuring Common Mode Currents to Troubleshoot EMC Problems
This month's Technical Tidbit describes why common mode current measurements
are a powerful troubleshooting tool for the development lab.
Abstract: EMC testing usually comes at the end of project development. And
when the equipment fails one of the tests, everything usually grinds to a
halt. Often this results in engineers trying to diagnose the problem at the
EMC test lab. Unless one is lucky, this generally does not produce the
desired results. Use of common mode current measurements on cables is
described and shown to be a powerful method to debug EMC problems as part of
an EMC troubleshooting toolkit.

Separately, I am planning a move to Boulder City, NV in the coming months.
Myoffice will be located in the historic Boulder City Dam Hotel and Museum.
If you would like to see some pictures of the area, use these links:
