CHAPTER 6

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

Design and layout of a printed circuit board (PCB) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations is probably the most cost-effective measure it is possible to take in the quest for EMC compliance. It is the most cost-effective as it requires no additional components, just the knowledge and experience of EMC layout methods and time spent in applying them. It may also lead to the reduction in filtering requirements, including the number of filters, hence the application of correct PCB layout for EMC could even reduce the cost of compliance. Critical errors in layout causing an EMC problem may not be resolved by the application of additional filters, therefore relaying the PCB may be the only solution and ...
