It is difficult to avoid the edge radiation, but you can try to diminish it with some concept. If you make the energy couple to ground from signals or powers more and more, the radiation may be controlled. Most PCBs are linear time-invariant system. Linearity means either smaller source energy or slighter radiative PCB channel, smaller radiated energy (y(t)=x(t)*h(t)) For example, try to thin the PCB layer to make the signals couple to reference plane, or keep the key signals away from edge or sensitive area, etc. -best regards -Long 2010/12/24 Xu Shuai <xushuai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Hi Istvan > Usually there are many clock signals and harmonics in a complex PCB, and > there are also many high frequency resonances.
