Rob Kado asked: >> Any ideas besides knowledge of a quick and simple test we can use to perform this type of filtering? Our products are automotive so in some cases we are talking PCB level but in most we are talking about various dc motors. Of course we have the knowledge but as you all know in the EMC world that is far from the final say all. <<
In this application, I'd say it's hard to beat current probes for catching "flyers" among generally conforming items. One might use emissions, especially for UHF and up, which may radiate directly. But when you know how much common-mode EMI something generates, compared to what you already use, you have a pretty good idea how much noise it will add to your equipment. You'll need a test setup particular to each kind of item you test, of course. Cortland Richmond This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
