Hi, >Ed Price said: "I have heard of active cancellation equipment which can generate a phase shifted image of the offending signal and locally radiate this signal so as to create a limited "null" zone. How big of a null zone, the uniformity of cancellation, the stability and agility of the cancellation and the cost/complexity of the equipment are all unknown to me.
>I wonder if any in our group has every tried active cancellation?" A friend of mine told me a few years ago that the active cancellation technology was successfully applied in Acoustics. IF it is true, I guess the difficulty to transplant it to Electromagnetic is that Acoustic field is scalar, whereas EM fields are vectors.

So, i'm doing this: i record the signal with the product tested at "off" and when i turn the product "on", i subtract the signal of "on" minus the signal of "off". this means that i subtract the "ambient noise" from the noise being generated by the product itself. What i really want to know is: is this procedure correct? am i doing a nonsense thing? Any comments will be welcome. thanks Muriel -- ================================================== Muriel Bittencourt de Liz INEP - Instituto de Eletronica de Potencia Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Caixa Postal - 5119 88.040-970 - Florianopolis - SC - BRASIL Phone: +55.48.331.9204 - Fax: +55.48.234.5422 e-mail: mur...@inep.ufsc.br Homepage: http://www.inep.ufsc.br ================================================== --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
