Hi All, I have been writing again this month, a little later than normal as I was teaching in Oxford and Bristol on England.
My Technical Tidbit article this month discusses a method of locating ESD events that is fast and easy to perform. Locating (and eliminating) ESD events is critical for manufacturers of sensitive devices and in mission critical equipment installations. The link is the experimental setup picture at the bottom of the page at (after the ~100 technical articles) http://emcesd.com Abstract: ESD and other impulsive events can be physically located by using time of arrival of the generated EMI at multiple antennas as displayed on a fast digitizing oscilloscope. In field conditions, the method described is fast and accurate. Doug -- ___ _ Doug Smith \ / ) P.O.
