  • Understanding EMI Noise In Power-System Design

    Understanding EMI Noise In Power-System Design

    By Philip Lioio, April 27, 2012

    Electromagnetic noise is created by natural phenomena and inject many problems into electronic devices like radio transmitters and switching power supplies. Managing noise in power systems is an important part of any initial design because minimizing noise after the design is done or a prototype built is progressively more difficult and expensive. A frontline tool for the management of noise is to understand its vocabulary, origins, and effects.
