Quantifying EMI: A Methodology for Determining and Quantifying Radiation for Practical Design Guidelines

Abstract

Radiation is a vital mechanism affecting electromagnetic interference (EMI), noise control, and performance optimization in today's electronic designs. Due to tight electromagnetic compatibility standards, it becomes increasingly important to diagnosis the radiation hot spot in the radiation process before the mitigation is applied. In this paper, the characteristic mode analysis has been implemented together with the integral equation based numerical methods to identify the hot spots for EMI radiation. During this process, the current is split into radiating and nonradiating ones. The radiated power from each part of the structure can be quantified using the radiating current. Therefore, the radiation hot spot can be identified. Several numerical examples are applied to benchmark the proposed approach. This paper provides a guideline in discovering radiation related geometrical features, and designing methodologies for real geometries.
