Thank you, Ryan, for a very clear explanation of one of the most 
blatant trade barrier schemes I have ever seen. I suppose your ministry of 
trade wouldn't mind if every one of Korea's trading partners established 
similar reciprocal policies.

Read any good (EMC) books lately?

[Jon D Curtis]

I am conducting a search for good technical works.  I am interested in
articles, books and other publications which you might consider useful or
otherwise state-of-the-art.  I would particularly like to find works which
support their thesis with experimental data.  Please send recommendations
directly to me.  I will then post a compendium back to the group once the
information is in.

I am especially interested in the following subjects:

Use of spread spectrum clocks for EMI reduction
Measurement errors introduced by wooden frame EMI sites
High speed multi-layer PCB layout strategies to minimize EMI
Comparison of modern day logic families (ground bounce?)
Software control of transient behavior introduced by EMC
Hardening of thermocouple, RTDs, and other small signal circuits to
withstand radio frequency interference.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Jon D. Curtis, PE
