Greetings, Jim Nadolny here from Samtec and I wanted to make you all aware of a webinar on shielded cables and cable assemblies. The Webinar is next Thursday, 12-6 at 2:00PM EST. The webinar covers a little bit on EMI regulations and compliance (5-10 minutes) and then describes where all the data comes from in the webinar (reverb chamber). It covers the impact of shield construction (braid, foil and braid), differential vs. common mode effects, and of course, connector effects on shielded cable assemblies. =20 On the theory side I show how analytic expressions for apertures can be used to predict shielding effectiveness for a very simple coax. It actually works better than I expected and it's pretty simple algebra to get the transfer impedance and shielding performance from the magnetic polarizability of an aperture.=20 If you only deal with silicon and chip level SI, this probably is not a good fit. On the other hand, if you have to deal with shielding, EMI compliance or if you want to broaden your EE base a bit - this might be worth your time.
