10 Measurement use what type of equipment? Spectrum Analyzer 0 Cheap 1 One is enough 10kHz 1GHz 2 Less accurate EMI Receiver 0 Expensive 1 Two are needed 10kHz to 30MHz, 30MHz to 1GHz 2 More accurate 19 Measurement Set Up Conducted (< 30MHz) Vertical ground plane 0.4m(CISPR) 1m(FCC) EUT 0.8m 0.8m(CISPR) Excess lead bundle Ground plane 2m x 2m(CISPR), 2.5m x 3m(FCC) To receiver/ Spectrum Analyzer 20

12 Radiated Set Up - diagnosis Anechoic chamber filled with ferrite absorbers to absorb EM reflections Small TEM cell provides convenient way to diagnose EMI problem 23 Measurement Limit level Average limit (B) Quasi peak limit (B) 0.15MHz 0.5MHz CISPR22 conducted emission limit 56 dbuv 46 dbuv 630 uv uv 66 dbuv 56 dbuv 2000 uv 630 uv 0.5MHz 5MHz 46 dbuv 200 uv 56 dbuv 630 uv 5MHz 30MHz 50 dbuv 316 uv 60 dbuv 1000 uv Can you make an amplifier which receives signal from 150kHz to 1GHz at 200uV signal level?? CISPR22 radiated emission limit Quasi peak limit(10m class A) 30MHz 230MHz 40dBuV/m 100 uv/m 230MHz 1G 47dBuV/m 223 uv/m Quasi peak limit(10m class B) 30dBuV/m 31uV/m dBuV/m 70 uv/m

13 Measurement about error According to "EMC for product Designers - Tim Williams RF measuring receiver - +/- 2.5dB (worse for spectrum analyzer) Impedance mismatch Antenna +/- 1dB +/- 4dB Antenna cable +/- 2.5dB Anechoic chamber Test engineer +/-3dB +/- 4dB Total = 17 db! 25 Measurement short summary Spectrum Analyzer is cheaper for in house pre-compliance test. Conducted measurement is rather simple. Radiated measurement is difficult. Different test Laboratory will give you different results. 26

14 Most Important Concept - LOG Equipment reading are in LOG scale, it lies in our mind that Measured Reading = 20Log( ) dbuv 6 10 Can you imagine what a number will become when it is divided by 10-6, then take LOG, and finally multiplied by 20?? 27 Most Important Concept - LOG & Sum 500uV = 54 dbuv 1000uV = 60 dbuv 2000uV = 66 dbuv 500 uv uv uv = 3500 uv = 71 dbuv Generic human intuitive comparison Compare linear result 3500 / 500 = 7 times Compare LOG result 71/54 = 1.3 times 28

15 Most Important Concept - LOG & Subtract 3500uV = 71 dbuv 2000uV = 66 dbuv 1000uV = 60 dbuv 3500 uv uv uv = 500 uv = 54 dbuv Generic human intuitive comparison tells us Compare linear result 500 / 3500 = times Compare LOG result 54/71 = 0.76 times 29 LOG Reading an example Assume that noise is produced by four contributors transformer MOSFET PCB Voltage (dbuv) Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level 30

16 Example eliminate effect of the transformer Conclusion Little effect MOSFET Voltage (dbuv) PCB Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level Xformer noise eliminated 31 Example eliminate effect of the MOSFET Conclusion Very Little effect 90 Xformer PCB Voltage (dbuv) Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level MOSFET noise eliminated 32

17 Example eliminate effect of the PCB Conclusion No effect Xformer MOSFET Voltage (dbuv) Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level PCB noise eliminated 33 Example eliminate the little and the very little Conclusion Hopeless, still exceeds the limit PCB Voltage (dbuv) Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level Xformer & MOSFET noise eliminated 34

18 Example already in a professional way? Start PCB effect has no contribution Isolate various causes Ignore Y Only Xformer and MOSFET contribute Investigate each cause Stupid & unnecessary N Eliminate 35 Wait a minute Vn 0.7Vn Xformer MOSFET Voltage (dbuv) Vn PCB Vn Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level Xformer only MOSFET only PCB only Aux. only 36

19 We re wrong twice eliminate the No Effect Voltage (dbuv) Aux Frequency (Log scale) CISPR22 conductive class B limit line Original Noise Level Aux. only Wrong three times? Xformer MOSFET PCB Bingo! PCB is important PCB MOSFET Xformer Bingo! Xformer is important 38

20 Wrong Concepts There is a dominant noise mechanism or path Wrong! Some other noise mechanism can be ignored as it shows no effect Wrong! Yesterday EMI solution did not work in today s problem Wrong! 39 Right Concept You will not see a result until you have eliminated the LAST problem" Peter Bardos 40

21 Remember Two equal noise level add together only make a 6 db difference Measured + Measured Reading = 20Log( ) dbuv 6 10 Measured Reading = (20Log( ) + 20Log(2)) dbuv 6 10 Measured Reading = (20Log( ) + 6) dbuv Take a break 42

22 Picking up the noise - Line Impedance Stabilization Network ac Only Simple Mission 50 Ω to Earth 50Ω Line 1 Line 2 50Ω Earth EUT 43 a little bit more detail EUT Live 50uH Line 1 Line 2 50uH Neutral 0.25uF 0.25uF 10uF 1k 50 Ohm receiver 50 Ohm receiver 1k 10uF Earth 44

24 Picking up the noise in space - Antenna Antenna factor 20dB Log periodic 10dB biconical MHz (log scale) 47 Predicting noise to space- Absorption clamp Move alone the input cable EUT Current transformer Ferrite rings absorber Measured cable Directional device Ferrite rings Absorbing clamp To receiver 48

25 Nature of EM Noise Time varying Amplitude varying Frequency varying It changed After we have measured it! 49 Nature of EM noise Worse, normal and good Peak measurement the worse, measure the peak noise within a period of time. Average measurement the good, measure the averaged noise within a period of time Quasi-peak measurement the normal, between peak and average measurements. 50

26 Peak, Quasi-peak, average Noise after detector Peak result Quasi-peak result Average result Time 51 Peak detector simplified Mixer Resolution Bandwidth Amp. Peak or Envelope Detector Input To meter Y-axis VCO Osc. Select measuring frequency X-axis Simplified Peak EMI receiver 52

27 Quasi-peak detector simplified Mixer Resolution Bandwidth Amp. Quasi-Peak Detector 0.5Hz LPF Input To meter Y-axis VCO Osc. Select measuring frequency X-axis Quasi-Peak EMI receiver 53 Quasi-peak constant QP-detector kHz MHz MHz 0.3 1GHz 6dB bandwidth 0.2kHz 9kHz 120kHz 120kHz Charge time 45mS 1mS 1mS 1mS Discharge time 500mS 160mS 550mS 550mS What happens if the noise occurrence time is less than the charge time? 54

28 Average detector simplified Mixer Resolution Bandwidth Amp. envelop Detector 0.5Hz LPF Input To meter Y-axis VCO Osc. Select measuring frequency X-axis 55 Peak constant? QP-detector kHz MHz MHz 0.3 1GHz 6dB bandwidth 0.2kHz 9kHz 120kHz 120kHz Charge time???? Discharge time???? Don t forget every detector has a charging time constant. 56

29 Detector how long does a signal exist 9kHz Period for detection at a certain frequency VCO Osc. T charge = f stop BW f initial T For conducted EMI range and sweep is 1s sweep 1s T charg e = 0. 3 ms 57 Detector fast and slow sweep Sweep time = 10 s Sweep time = 1 s 58

30 Short summary, spectrum, receiver, antenna, absorption clamp are introduced. Peak detector is used for screen display as it gives fastest response. Quasi-peak and average are used in most standards. You can cheat the detector or display screen if the noise pop out faster than the charge time. Don t be cheated by the screen if sweep time is too fast Any Short Question? 60

32 Capacitor of course is capacitor The above experiment actually does not intend to prove a two plate structure is a capacitor. It proves two separate physical objects can have effect very much like a simple capacitor coupled together and can give accurate result even the two separate objects connected to a more complicated circuit. Don t forget a power supply is a complicated circuit, with a lot of separate parts and traces Invisible coupling inductive 500cm 2 220p f 1.5Ω r=6cm 350nH 50Ω 0.5cm 40pf V mi I mi 10cm Z s T I spectrum Do I pick up analyzer something here?

35 Reminder Any two nodes, two objects, two components, two traces etc, has an invisible capacitance and capacitive coupling effect Any two segments, two loops, two traces, two paths etc, produce an invisible transformer and have inductive coupling effect. Is there any combination of capacitiveinductive effect? 69 Capacitive-Inductive effect Simple idea of Electro-Magnetic wave propagation. V & I propagate 70

39 HVHF circuits High Voltage High Frequency 77 HVHF circuits reduce to a size As Small As Possible ASAP RIGHT Wrong RIGHT 78

40 Capacitive coupling PCB trace rule Good small trace area, symmetrical, good separation Bad large trace area, asymmetrical, not enough separation and long connection wire Inductive coupling trace to trace C X C X V S1 V ind V S1 I' I' Although the loop has low voltage, it generates other kind of noise. 80

41 Inductive coupling trace to trace induction C X V ind V S1 Say L m = 1nH I = 150kHz 1nH I' V ind = I 2 π f L m V ind = 940 uv C x gives a low impedance path for the induced current to flow 81 Inductive coupling trace to trace result V 50 Ω 50 Ω C X V ind Say C X = 0.1uF At 150kHz V = 460uV V 50 = πfjC 940 X uv EN55022 B limit at 150kHz is 630uV 82

42 Inductive coupling the trace itself Self inductance Line 1 Line 1 I I C X V S1 C X V S1 Line 2 Line Inductive coupling trace induced voltage Line 1 Ls I Let say L m = 10nH I = 150kHz C X V S1 V ind = I 2 π f Ls V ind = 9400 uv Ls V ind EN55022 B limit at 150kHz is Line 2 630uV 84

43 Inductive coupling PCB trace rule Good small loop area, good separation between loops, node terminated at capacitor terminals Bad large loop area, short separation between loops, nodes are not terminated at capacitor terminals 85 Typical capacitor and inductor parameter values C = 0.085A/d pf L = 0.002l(ln(2l/r)-0.75) uh Lm = 0.002l(ln(2l/D)-1+D/l) uh 1cm 1cm d=1cm l=1cm D=1cm l=5cm C = pf L awg18 =5.8nH Lm awg18 =15nH 86

44 Short conclusion Very small capacitor may cause serious capacitive coupling effect Very small inductor may cause serious inductive coupling effect, either mutual or self inductive coupling. Very small pieces of object may cause devastating magnitude of capacitance or inductance Any Short Question? 88

55 Input filter why usually stable? Because skin effect increases the winding resistance WRONG Because proximity effect increases the winding resistance WRONG Because parasitic capacitor inhibits the oscillation WRONG Because the inductor is no longer an inductor Meaningless Input filter what ac inductor is Inductance Resistor reflecting core losses Resistor reflecting skin / proximity losses Resistor reflecting dc winding losses Frequency dependent Frequency dependent Depend on Frequency & winding structure Wire size dependent DOMINANT! 110

56 Input filter core losses issue Iron powder core Ferrite core Every engineer know core losses is significant, don t ignore the ac resistor reflecting core losses Input filter why usually stable? again Because core losses of the filtering inductor provide extra resistance RIGHT. Because the higher the inductance, the higher the core losses resistance RIGHT. Because the capacitor C 1 is usually bigger than the example RIGHT. Because the oscillating frequency may fall out of regulating region of the converter, and becomes a circuit with positive resistance MAY BE

80 Still use by pass and short circuit concept C couple C self By passing noise current C self If far enough, C self >> C couple Like a short circuit 0V C couple 0V Short summary Lump element circuit is possible to simulate EMI behavior. Parasitic elements is not enough to explain all cases. (More concept will be introduced.) So call electric field shielding must be terminated one end to a quiet node or 0V of the noise source. NO FLOATING! So call electric field shielding is a kind of by pass, shunt or short circuit equivalent in a lump element model
