esd protection at 900MHz cordless phone

1996-07-30 Thread Scott Chiang
I'm looking some advices from the ESD protecting on antenna
matching network.  I have put ESD protection device (TVS,contains ~50pF
cap) in parallel with existing matching circuitry, problem is the power
output dropped significantly -9dB after adding the TVS.  I truely believe
it was because the inner cap value of the TVS had changed the impedance
matching.

During the ESD test (12KV, contact dischage to the the antenna), the front
end SAW filter revelaed increasing leakage & unsatble.

The experience shows that the cap must be as low as possible <3pF of inner
TVS, but this is impossible to the device makers.

Your idea or comment in providing the solution is very appreciated.

Now that I need one I can't find one.

I am in need of a transparent shield that will go over a 9 inch diag.
LCD Panel.  Years ago I had vendors knocking down my doors with these
cheep shields that where made from a fine conductive screen material
with a small frame and a drain (ground) wire.  Does anyone know a
company that still makes these things?  How about the raw material (I
can make them myself)?

Thanks in advance,

Re: China Japan Regulatory Issues

1996-07-30 Thread COLON KELLY
DENTORI is Japan's Material Safety Law which calls out mandatory 
requirements for consumer products.  If a product falls under the scope 
of DENTORI, compliance is mandatory, and for some products, certification 
by MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) is mandatory.  ITE 
does not fit under the scope of DENTORI.

In Japan there are no mandatory requirements for ITE equipment.  However, 
there are requirements for external computer power supplies.  They must 
meet DENTORI and requirements and require MITI Certification.  As to the 
rationale, your guess is as good as mine.

There are some voluntary schemes in Japan that may help you meet market 
requirements.  They are:

VCCI:  Japan's Voluntary Council for Control of Electromagnetic 
Interference by Data Processing Equipment and Electronic Office Equipment
VCCI certification involves emissions testing only of equipment  The 
requirements are similar to CISPR 22.

S-Mark:  This is a new voluntary scheme in Japan encompassing both safety 
and emissions requirements.  If a product does not fall under the scope 
of DENTORI and a manufacturer wants some third-party certification for 
Japan, this may be the way to go.  The certification bodies involved 
include JET and JQA .

For further information on Japan, I would suggest you contact UL's 
International Compliance Services Department in Melville.  They have a 
group of engineers who are experts in Japan's requirements.  Contact Mr. 
Hiroshi Morimoto at 516 271 6200.

Regarding China, there is a new Product Quality and the Import and Export 
Commodity Inspection Law for ITE.  Under the new system, importers must 
have a product safety mark from CCIB (Chinese State Administration of 
Import and Export Commodity  Inspection).  The certification will involve 
type testing, evaluation of the quality system and factory follow-up.  
Products without certification will be prohibited from entering the 
country.  This law will go into effect for ITE October 1996.  I received 
this information from an ITI bulletin dated July 25, 1996.  UL can 
probably assist you with this too.

I hope the above helps.

Kelly Colon

So glad to see colleagues from China interested in EMC.
Hope you'll bring us the latest EMC and safety reg in
China today. 

You sent an empty message to the whole group. Should you
want to subscribe the EMC-PSTC, send the email to

 majord...@mail.ieee.org

with the following in the body,

 subscribe emc-pstc 

I maintain a web site with regulatory information probably
in your interestes, the URL is

Again, nice to see Chinese frm China. Your name sounds
familiar.

Best regards,

Re: Field Retro Options into Noncompliant Machines

I find it useful to draw analogies with user friendly things like personal
computers. Your three cases then become:

>1) ADD AN OPTION WHICH ALLOWS MACHINE TO PERFORM FUNCTION
>IT COULDN'T PREVIOUSLY DO.

Add a sound card to an old 386 - the sound card must be CE marked and shown
to comply with EMC requirements but it doesn't affect your old 386.

>2) ADD AN OPTION THAT DUPLICATES AN EXISTING FUNCTION;

Add a second sound card (or whatever) to your old 386 - again, the sound
card must be CE marked but it doesn't affect the old PC.

3)  ADD AN ADJACENT MACHINE THAT WORKS IN TANDEM WITH THIS
MACHINE AND COMMUNICATES WITH IT;

Add a printer connected via interface cable to the parallel port of your old
386 - again the printer must be CE marked, etc, but still your old PC
remains the same.

If this analogy is an accurate reflection of your situation, then none of
your situations require looking at old installed equipment. You need to look
at the add-ons.
