EMC and the Printed Circuit Board: Design, Theory, and Layout Made Simple

Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Apr 5, 2004 - Science - 344 pages
"Mark I. Montrose, the best-selling author of PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN TECHNIQUES FOR EMC COMPLIANCE, now brings you his newest book, EMC AND THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD.

This accessible, new reference work shows how and why RF energy is created within a printed circuit board and the manner in which propagation occurs. With lucid explanations, this book enables engineers to grasp both the fundamentals of EMC theory and signal integrity and the mitigation process needed to prevent an EMC event. Author Montrose also shows the relationship between time and frequency domains to help you meet mandatory compliance requirements placed on printed circuit boards.

Using real-world examples the book features:
* Clear discussions, without complex mathematical analysis, of flux minimization concepts
* Extensive analysis of capacitor usage for various applications
* Detailed examination of components characteristics with various grounding methodologies, including implementation techniques
* An in-depth study of transmission line theory
* A careful look at signal integrity, crosstalk, and termination"

Page 289 - Investigation of the Effectiveness of DC Power Bus Interplane Capacitance in Reducing Radiated EMI from Multi-Layer PCBs.
Page 250 - Creepage is the shortest path between two conductive parts, or between a conductive part and the bounding surface of the equipment, measured along the surface of the insulation.
Page 160 - CI of a circuit is equal to the square root of L/C, where L is the circuit self-inductance, and C is the capacitance to ground. The parameters L and C are determined by the circuit geometry and the properties of the dielectric.
Page 36 - A law giving the magnetic induction at a point due to given currents in terms of the current elements and their positions relative to the point. Also known as Laplace law.
Page 315 - A: The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below a performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. In some cases the performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance.
