We are currently in the process of designing a new PCI bus video card.  This
card has 1 video D-Sub port.  We have seen application notes indicating that
the best way to minimize potential radiated emissions from this port would
be to tie the D-Sub connector shell (chassis) to the logic ground on the
circuit board.  Thus minimizing the ground return impedance.  However, our
experience has indicated that we perform better (EN55022) when this D-Sub
Shell (chassis) and the logic ground on the PCI card are separated.  

I am interested in what you folks think about this particular problem.  Any
responses would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for you replies!


Please contact me if you have any questions or comments!

Thank you!
