RE: Emission at SDRAM harmonics and ethernet signal current

All of the SDRAM output drivers I have measured have impedances of around 20 ohms. Adding the 22 ohm resistor is the usual way to use these parts. If you are driving into a matched system having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms (and end terminated) you will reduce the driver current by 2 dB.

K, The efficiency of your Ethernet cable as an antenna/as a transmission line will depend on the matching of the impedance at each end of the cable. What you have done with your 22R resistor is change the matching impedance at that end of the cable as well as reducing the signal current in the
