Conducted Emission testing for Ethernet over power line product.
Hi Group, I am looking for an opinion regarding an interpretation and implementation of CISPR I/89/CD. Let's say you have a product that can transmit Ethernet over power lines in your house (this is not power over Ethernet). This could be considered as Power Line Communication with Multi Purpose Port (AC main + data). If we would have followed old CISPR22 methodology for testing conducted emission, while Ethernet is transmitting, it would've fail (just to make sure, it did fail) at 5Mhz-30Mhz range. So IEC recognized the problem and come up with some amendments to CISPR22 and I believe it is still a life document. It is my understanding, that based on those amendments, for PLC product, Cond. Emis. has to be tested in 2 ways: 1)old way with LISN, data Tx is off, regular CE AC limits; 2)with Tx on, with TISN, against Telecomm limits. Is my understanding correct? If yes, is there TISN for 240V and if there someone out there, who actually did this test already?

Re: Are there any knowm EMC porblems when transmitting video on gigabite ethernet?
It is just Ethernet traffic, so there should be no difference in emission. Immunity might be a problem, since during some tests (e.g. EFT), temporary loss of packets and link-drop will most likely happen. That is not an issue with regular data-only Ethernet applications, since Ethernet normally checks for errors and re-transmits if packets have been lost, but real-time applications might suffer. It could disturb video if there is not enough safety-margin in the code that allows for the lost packets to re-transmit without disturbances (as defined by the manufacturer AND EN55024 section on LAN). I do not know enough about the application, but check for that. That can happen e.g. with IP phones, where link-drop results in a call-drop, which is then a test failure (it requires user-intervention to redial, so the Ethernet self-correction does not work).

Chris, I do not believe that this kind of fusing is permitted if the fuses are "user accessible".

Re: Suppression of radiated emissions and spread spectrum clocking
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Isn't it fun, that's why I am not sure if being called an EMC expert is a good thing. Now to the point: 1) Pulling back the Vcc plane away from the edge of the "ground" plane changes the distribution of the EM field at the edge. While the strength at the edge decreases, it can indeed increase radiation in another direction. There have been papers published on that, e.g. search for Gisin and Tanner in the IEEE EMC Symposia or Transactions records. However, what is the practical application and usefulness? While the radiation pattern is changed, one should notice that on the typical PCBs none of the mechanisms of radiations ("edge-fringing" or Patch-antenna) are not efficient radiators, and in my experience the direct radiation off the PCB edge or off the (undercut) Vcc plane is typically not a problem, because Vcc planes are typically at an electrically very small distance to the "ground" planes (even in a not-so-good PCB stackup), and the field falls-off quickly with the distance from the edge of the Vcc plane (wherever it is! ). Also, in many cases, the Vcc planes are in between other plane ("ground") layers, which again changes the field distribution and coupling and radiation mechanisms (there is no patch-antenna in the PCB if it is sandwitched in the inner layers). The typical practical problem with the edge-radiation that I have seen is not the direct radiation, rather it is when the PCB-edge is close to a piece of metal that is electrically larger, e.g. card-cage in a chassis. The field at the edge in that case feeds the larger antenna (piece of metal), which then radiates as a secondary-radiator much more efficiently. Another similar situation is in the areas of the PCB-moats. The Vcc that is extended all the way to the "ground" plane edge (of the moat) can very efficiently couple the EM field into the moat, which then easily guides it and couples to the I/O across the moat, e.g. a transformer. In such a case, the transformer and/or common-mode choke across the moat do not suppress the common-mode energy coupled to them. The papers I have seen only concentrate on the redirection of energy, but fail to recognize that the real practical issue is typycally not the direct radiation but the secondary radiation. I'd say, the expert who is stating that it is uselles is definitelly wrong - sometimes it is very benefitial as described above (and witnessed in extensive practice). It is also true that sometimes it does not matter. The expert who said it CAN definitely help is right - it depends on the circumstances. It is typically easy to pull the Vcc planes back and stitch the “ground” planes together at the edges, which eliminates the issue with emission coming >from secondary radiators - so why not do it? However, the energy is still going somewhere inside the PCB stackup, so the signal routing, PCB-stackup, bypassing etc. can/should/must be used to minimize the levels and the coupling with the PCB structures that can radiate or carry it to the I/O sections. 2) Spread-spectrum is frequency modulation of the clock signal. If one looks in any textbook on the topic (or remembers from the school), in FM the side-bands receive power from the carrier, so that the deeper the modulation is the power (hence the amplitude) of the carrier is lower and the power (the amplitude) of the side-bands is higher – the total power in the signal is constant. The ideal SS technique, from the point of view of minimizing the radiated emission maximum amplitude) is such that the level at the carrier frequency and the level at the sidebands are equal. Any deeper modulation and the sidebands are higher than in the equilibrium, and any lower modulation and the carrier is higher (thus they are not optimal). Also, the waveform of the modulating signal can make large difference, check Lexmark web page on that. I'd say the expert was wrong on the second one. Again - see the math of how FM works. Cheers, Neven Conformity and SI List I attended an electronic conference where a well-known EMI/EMC speaker/author stated that the 20 H rule is useless for suppression of radiated emissions. On the other hand, another well known EMI/EMC speaker/author states that it can definitely help. What is the opinion of conformity (SI) members and what empirical results have been obtained? Second question. A well-known EMI speaker/author also states that spread spectrum clocking (SSC) does not lower peak radiated emissions. Rather the harmonics of SSC are spread out where the Quasi Peak Detector Spectrum Analyzer (QPDSA) is missing (incorrect frequency band) their peak value readings, i.e. fpeak is outside the frequency band that SPDSA is set for monitoring.

RE: WEEE labelling in the UK
So what are you doing about product you are selling in MS who already have legislation? Historic waste is everything pre 13 Aug 2005 - you can't have different dates throughout the MS. If you apply the wheelie without the bar but have the date marked on the unit you cover all bases. Bottom line it's your decision, your legal fees, your product market - everyone else is doing what the letter asks, or rather I have seen no other dissenters on several other WEEE/RoHS forums - if you go to a compliance scheme that's what they'll say you should be doing.

All the guidelines etc state something like "The Government proposes to implement on 13 August 2005 the WEEE Directive" but they haven't. The draft Statutory Instrument hasn't even been completed, let alone laid before parliament. Without an SI, there's no legislation, ergo, there's no enforcement. My concern is that we will mark products before legislation requires us to do so. This may confuse the historical waste issue if the SI declares a date other than August 13. I don't think you can have retrospective legislation. ie how can you have a law that state "all products will be marked from last year"? The UK Government are in breach of the directive and they're in trouble with Brussels.

Re: Suppression of radiated emissions and spread spectrum clocking
Thank you, now that I understand that 20 H means the power plane outside edge is set back from the ground plane edge a distance 20 times the separation between the two planes, it is possible to opine on the subject. Looking at the fringing field set up by potentials and gradients between the two planes, if you follow the 20 H rule the radiation efficiency will be much less, the quasi-static and induction fields will be there, but much less of the energy will break off and radiated as a traveling electromagnetic wave. > From: Cortland Richmond <72146@compuserve.com> > Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 20:47:48 -0500 > To: ieee pstc list > Subject: Re: Suppression of radiated emissions and spread spectrum clocking > > Ken Javor wrote > >>> I didn't know what the 20 H rule was either, just assumed everyone else > did... << > > See > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu/si-list4/0391.html > page 9 of http://www.ansoft.com/thewave/Shielding_and_Decoupling.pdf > http://factaee.elfak.ni.ac.yu/fu2k12/fu04.html > and others (search on "20H rule.") > > RF between two equally sized planes does radiate from the slot formed at > the edge - but RF on a small plane over a larger one also radiates from the > slot around the smaller.
