Understanding Shield Effectiveness

Shielding, or screening effectiveness, is essential to the safe operation of electric vehicles (EVs). There was a time when the noise generated by the spark plugs firing in an internal combustion engine caused an annoying buzz when listening to the AM radio. Circuit designs have since evolved, and this issue was eventually resolved, but now the issue is back.

The Application of Pressure Correction to RGA Test Results for Vacuum Sealed Quartz Resonators

This white paper explores the application of pressure correction to Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) test results for vacuum-sealed quartz resonators. RGA testing, crucial for assessing hermeticity and preventing device failure, is discussed with a focus on moisture concentration. The paper introduces the amendment of MIL-STD-883 M1018 for pressure correction and provides insights into estimating internal pressure and applying correction factors. The importance of correcting data for low package sealing pressure is emphasized for accurate evaluation of device reliability.

Key Parameters for Selecting RF Inductors

RF inductor selection involves these key parameters: mounting (surface mount or through-hole), inductance value, current rating, DC resistance (DCR), self-resonant frequency (SRF), Q factor, and temperature rating. While small size is typically desired, the laws of physics limit how small an inductor can be for a given application.
