Doug, Another excellent article! An experiment you might try is a triaxial shield. I do this using copper tape over the coaxial cable insulation. The shield is connected to the coaxial shield at each end of the coax. This experiment might help prove your hypothesis.
I sometimes approach these things using the three conditions of Knowledge: 1) We need True belief 2) It must be true 3) We must have a justification for believing it Dave Cuthbert Micron Technology From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Smith Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 5:47 PM To: emc-pstc Subject: Scope measuremtent EMI Hi All, I have been writing again, this time about how to recognize an important mechanism whereby EMI can creep into scope measurements. This month's Technical Tidbit discusses mechanisms whereby error can be generated in a measurement by EMI from the source itself. Abstract: Measurement of high amplitude impulsive signals, such as ESD, can incur errors due to radiated effects. The characteristics of these effects are discussed and ways to spot such errors in a measurement are given.
