Hi All, I have posted my latest Technical Tidbit for April: Technical Tidbit - April 2010 Identifying Switching Power Supply Noise in Systems (Frequency Domain Measurements) Abstract: Switched mode power supplies can generate significant harmonics of such an amplitude as to cause EMC emissions problems in the 30 to 100 MHz range and occasionally at higher frequencies. Identifying switching power supply noise is discussed as well as one coupling method that can result in excess radiated emissions. The link to the article is the picture of the experimental setup at the bottom of the home page at: http://emcesd.com[1] showing a spectrum analyzer and a switching power supply.
