A rigorous model for radiated emission prediction in PCB circuits

The problem of the radiated emission from printed circuit boards, (PCBs) is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Differential mode and common mode currents are separately studied by means of a rigorous method based on proper Green's functions. The solution of the integral equations for the current distribution, derived from the problem formulation, is numerically achieved by the method of moments. Simulated results are in good agreement with measurements. The final products of this study are masks that establish the maximum allowable currents or voltage values as a function of frequency to comply with CISPR regulatio
