EM Coupling Phenomena
General Remarks
•
One of the most fundamental issues in EMC is coupling. We can
distinguish four coupling mechanisms:
– Galvanic or conductive coupling.
– Capacitive near field coupling.
– Inductive near field coupling.
– Electromagnetic far field coupling.
•
A way the coupling can be quantified is by using the concept of
transfer impedance

Electric charges are associated with electric fields.
Moving electric charges (currents) are associated with magnetic fields.
Time varying electric fields are associated with changing magnetic fields.
Time varying magnetic fields are associated with changing electric fields.
This inter-dependence between varying electric and magnetic fields yields
to wave propagation.

Electromagnetic Theory – Motivation
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Emissions, in the radiated or conducted form, are usually an unwanted
side effect caused by physical and electrical characteristics of circuits.
These characteristics are often related to parasitic parameters and the
non-ideal behavior of components.
These parameters are not explicitly shown in schematics and layout
diagrams.
In the case of immunity problems, the source of the disturbance and the
coupling path are not always obvious.
To avoid EMC problems, a few fundamental electromagnetic principles
must be followed.
Knowledge of these principles will give an understanding, why certain
guidelines and rules should be applied.
It will also allow to chose the best solution for each particular case, and to
develop tailored solutions for special problems.

Current Return Path (1)
The return current will usually take
the path of least
impedance!
At low frequencies, this path will
depend on the resistance
characteristic of the structure.
At high frequencies the impedance
characteristics are dominated by
inductances.
(At very high frequencies, also stray
capacitances may play a role.)
Mother Nature sets up the return path
in order to obtain the lowest possible
impedance for the pair.
