How EMI interferes with the circuit through the medium

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is part of our lives. Over time, the intensive production of intentional and unintentional EMI sources can cause serious damage to the circuit. The signals from these sources do not necessarily contaminate the circuit, but our goal is to keep the low-noise system away from these hazards.

We can imagine that a doctor uses an ECG diagnostic device to accurately diagnose the heart. Knowing that this is a high-precision measuring device, we don't worry that the annoying noise will appear in the diagnosis. This is a low frequency measurement and the electronics will not exceed 1MHz. However, if you are using an ECG device with a poor EMI design, and the doctor uses the phone to pick up the phone during the check, there is reason to worry about the diagnosis. See Figure 1 .

In Figure 1 , the system's cardiac input signal is approximately 0.25 mVp-p. This small signal requires a measurement amplifier gain of around 6000 V/V. Fortunately, the situation shown in Figure 1 does not represent the actual performance of a medical ECG measuring device. This measurement is actually performed in the engineer's lab using the board shown in Figure 2 .

Do not fall into this EMI trap. Carefully build the board and use some EMI-resistant components that are independent of the bandwidth of the analog or digital circuitry. When an EMI source is present near the application circuit, the source may or may not affect it.

With this low frequency circuit board, noise radiation from mobile phones is how to enter the measurement results (see Figure 1) it? Let's review and study the entire EMI map. In terms of EMI, there are three factors that play a role: the source of radiation, the coupling path for the propagation of radiated signals, and the radiation receptor. The source of radiation in this example is obvious. However, EMI sources may be transmitted wirelessly over the air, or through the PCB, and the source is unknown.

EMI (also known as radio frequency interference, RFI) surrounds the receptor by direct conduction or various field propagation. These fields are directly coupled into the circuit connections and PCB traces and converted to conductive RFIs.

The formation of a force between two charges requires three conditions: electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (radiation). The electric field (volts/distance) describes the force created by the uneven charge distribution between two physical points. In order to balance this charge distribution, a force is formed between the charges.

The moving charge or current forms a magnetic field that exerts a force on all other charges around it. This field (or force) decreases rapidly as the distance increases. Note that the electric and magnetic fields are related to each other, one change and the other changes at the same time.

Finally, the acceleration of the electron (or charge) forms an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field is the most common cause of EMI transmission.

Is there a way to solve this problem? Next time, we will discuss the characteristics of some sources of radiation that cause EMI problems, and introduce some tips to teach you how to minimize this radiation, so stay tuned.
