EMI ESSENTIALS
EMI INTRODUCTION
Overview of EMC/RFI Issues
The phenomenon of electromagnetic interference (EMI) is familiar to virtually everyone, even if they do not
understand the underlying principles. Most people have witnessed firsthand the effects of interference.
To control EMI, government organizations, such as the FCC, CSA, and EEC, mandate that manufacturers may
not design, produce or sell electronic equipment that jams the public broadcast services. In other instances,
however, EMI can constitute more than a mere nuisance. The military and medical communities, for example,
require trouble-free operation of their electronic equipment in adverse electromagnetic environments since
malfunctions could jeopardize missions and personnel. The European Union’s EMC directive also mandates
that “the apparatus has an adequate level of intrinsic immunity to electromagnetic disturbance to enable it
to operate as intended”.
EMC Design of High Speed Systems
The interference and susceptibility (immunity) effects of electronic apparatus are created by time-variant
electromagnetic fields which may be propagated along a conducting medium or by radiation through space.
Because the source of the conducted and radiated interference energy levels may be related, a coordinated
systems design effort is required to reduce these effects.
A design program for an equipment item that must meet both an emission and an immunity requirement
consists of:
• Suppression: Reducing the interference at its source.
• Isolation: Isolating the offending circuits by filtering, grounding and shielding.
• Desensitization: Increasing the immunity of any susceptible circuits.
These three steps should be carried on throughout the entire equipment design and implemented as early
as possible within the design program.
Effects of Logic Speed
The trend in today’s electronic devices is faster, smaller, and digital rather than analog. Most equipment
(95%) of today contains digital circuits. Today’s digital designer must create a circuit board that has the
lowest possible EMI, combined with the highest possible operating/processing speeds. Design of the PCB
is the most critical EMC influencing factor for any system, since virtually all active devices are located on
the board. It is the changing current (accelerated electron movement) produced by the active devices that
result in EMI.
Design Approaches
There are two approaches that can be used to reduce the emission from the PC board. The first approach is
to operate the circuit at the slowest speeds consistent with the functionality of the system, lay out the PCB
with the smallest possible loop areas (especially the high speed devices), and insert suppression components
such as filters, ferrite beads, and bypass capacitors into the circuit to reduce its bandwidth. These techniques
will result in a desired decrease in the high frequency harmonic amplitudes and circuit bandwidth and a
corresponding undesired decrease in both the operating speed and system reliability. The use of slower
speeds with reduced bandwidth will help to desensitize the circuit to external susceptibility fields.
The second is to use shielding. Shielding is the only non-invasive suppression technique. Since the shielding
is not inserted into the circuit, it does not affect the high frequency operating speed of the system, nor does
it affect the operation of the system should changes be made to the design in the future. In addition,
shielding does not create timing problems and waveform distortion; it does not decrease system reliability;
and it reduces crosstalk. Plus, shielding works for both emission suppression as well as susceptibility
(immunity) problems.
2
Even with the overall advantages of shielding, the most cost-effective approach is to use a combination
of circuit suppression/hardening and shielding.

METAL IMPREGNATED MATERIALS
ELECTROMET™ ORIENTED WIRE
ElectroMet oriented wire gaskets are EMI shielding and sealing
composites. Monel® or aluminum wires embedded in the
elastomer and oriented perpendicular to the mating surfaces
provide the EMI sealing. Solid or sponge silicone provides the
weather sealing; however, solid silicone weather seals are
recommended for high-pressure applications.
Silicone based oriented wire composites are capable of
withstanding temperature ranges from –70°F to 500°F
(–56°C to 260°C). Oriented wire materials are available in sheet
or strip form with a minimum thickness of 0.032 in. (0,8 mm).

AUTOMATED FORM-IN-PLACE
EMI GASKET TECHNOLOGIES
INTRODUCTION
Laird form-in-place is an automated system for dispensing
conductive elastomer EMI shielding and grounding gaskets onto
metal or plastic substrates. Form-in-place is particularly well
suited for cellular phones, PDAs, PC cards, telecom base stations,
radios, and many other compartmentalized cast or plastic
enclosures and packaged electronic assemblies.
Utilizing programmable 3-axis CNC dispensing equipment,
the compound is dispensed accurately onto the substrate and
creates a secure bond during the curing process. The repeatable
computer-controlled dispensing pattern insures consistency
between parts and rapid part program changes. In addition, it
supports all levels of volume – from prototyping to high-volume
electronic component production – via the use of one or multiple
dispensing heads. The system is programmed to apply custom
gasket configurations onto parts, to form multiple levels on the
part, and on slopes up to approximately 70°.
Laird RXP compounds are Room Temperature Vulcanizing
(RTV) elastomers and HXP compounds are High Temperature
Vulcanizing (HTV) elastomers, both filled with proprietary
conductive particles. Dispensed gasket beads of RXP compounds
may be handled in 3 hours, and are cured in 24 hours, under
conditions of standard temperature and 50% Relative Humidity.
Dispensed gasket beads of HXP compounds can be handled
after the materials are cured in an oven. The compounds have
a working compression range from 10% to 50% of the gasket
height, with a recommended design compression of 30% against
a mechanical compression stop. Our product is designed to
support low closure forces and is compatible with plastic, metal,
and plated or chromate finished substrates.
The required force to compress a given bead is a function of the
compound and the gasket size; i.e. smaller gaskets require less
force than larger gaskets. Please refer to our technical data for
details. Gaskets are dispensed on substrates within a placement
tolerance of ± 0.001 inches and gasket cross-sectional tolerances
from ± 0.003 to 0.007 inches. Refer to Table 1 on page 104 for
typical gasket dimensions and tolerances. As a normal course of
equipment operations, starting points and termination ends of the
gaskets will have profiles that are approximately 25% larger than
the running gaskets.
TYPICAL APPLICATION FOR FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS:
Automated dispensing of compound is
controlled by sophisticated computer software,
which is user-friendly and easy to work with.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETING
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Form-in-place gasketing offers a total cost savings in the
form of reduced raw materials, labor or assembly time
• Room temperature cure gasketing materials eliminate the
need for costly heat curing systems, allowing the use of
inexpensive plastic or metal substrates
• Single-component compounds eliminate the need for mixing
ingredients, thereby shortening production cycles and
eliminating related waste
• Easy to program operating system allows for quick part-topart change-over, minimal tooling investment for new designs,
and prototype development in 24 to 48 hours
• High shielding effectiveness: 85–100 dB up to 10 GHz
• The dispensing system supports prototyping and high volume
production schedules in a space saving 4’ x 3’ [12 sq. ft.] (1,2
m x 0,9 m [1,1 sq. m]) footprint
• Form-in-place gaskets provide more critical packaging space
for board level components and smaller package dimensions
• Excellent adhesion on a wide variety of metal and plastic
substrates including:
- aluminum and other casting alloys
- stainless steel
- nickel copper plating (on plastics)
- copper, silver, and nickel filled paint (on plastics)
• Low compression force makes SN compounds an
excellent selection where the mating surfaces lack
mechanical stiffness

RFRET 4000 RETICULATED
FOAM ABSORBERS
RFRET 4000 is a reticulated foam absorber. Reticulated
foam is an urethane-based foam with a well-defined
open-cell structure. The cell size can be chosen to
optimize penetration of the conductive coating to
which it is adhered. Laird uses two separate processes
to produce its reticulated foam absorber. This unique
spray process applies a coating that is graded through
the thickness of the foam. The grading of the coating also
produces an electrical grading that results in a material with
excellent broadband reflectivity reduction.
APPLICATIONS
RFRET broadband foam is commonly used around
antennas to provide isolation or side lobe reduction.
It can be die-cut into components for EMI reduction
inside microwave cavities and is used to manufacture
antenna hats and test boxes. It can be encapsulated
into a textile cover for use outdoors and fabricated into
blankets, covers and other components. Recently, it has
been used for a combination air/EMI filter in networking
equipment. The product can be made UL 94 HF1 for such
applications.

RFLS 5000 SINGLE LAYER
"LOSSY" FOAM ABSORBERS
APPLICATIONS
RFLS 5000 is a series of single layer "lossy" sheets
produced by dipping lightweight open-celled urethane
foam into a resistive solution. The end product is a
uniform, lightweight, loaded sheet material with a
specified insertion loss at a given frequency. RFLS
offers the lowest cost in microwave absorber products.
Thickness of the sheets range from 0.125" to 1.5"
(3,2 mm to 38,1 mm) and are generally 24" x 24"
(609,6 mm x 609,6 mm). Custom sizes and components
can be fabricated. The insertion loss of the product is
measured in an insertion tunnel over the 2 to 18 GHz
frequency range. Specifications are generally given
at 3 or 10 GHz. The material can be die-cut into
components and supplied with a pressure-sensitive
adhesive for ease of application.

PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
ABSORBER BOARD-LEVEL SHIELDING (ABLS)
FIGURE 1.
Increasing use of printed circuit boards in complex electronics
requires unique shielding solutions. Laird has developed a near
field measurement to accurately determine the effectiveness of
board-level shielding. Several Laird board-level shields have been
characterized using this technique.
Laird has further enhanced performance at greater than 2 GHz by
adding a microwave absorber to the board-level shield. Further
work has been completed on FlomericsTM FLO-EMC to analytically
investigate board-level shields performance improvement using
absorbers at high frequency.
THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE ABSORBERS –
COOL-ZORB
VBROP can optimize absorber performance at various frequencies
and angles of incidence.
Laird is developing thermally conductive microwave absorbing
materials. These can be used as thermal pads between chips and
heatsinks, allowing conduction of heat and dissipation of EMI.
Initial testing and modeling has shown this to be an effective
solution to heat sink radiation from noisy chips.
MU EPSILON MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES
Laird has a network analyzer to make amplitude and phase
measurements from 130 MHz to 20 GHz. Laird also has a
reflectivity arch, transmission tunnel and a variety of coaxial,
wave-guide and other test equipment to determine intrinsic
electrical properties of absorber materials. This ability has enabled
Laird to build a database that customers can use to design new
absorbers and analyze their performance in different situations.

ANALYTICAL SOFTWARE VBROP
VBROP is a versatile Windows® 95/98/NT-based optimizer of
multi-layered stacks for reflection or maximum transmission at
specified frequencies, angle of incidence and polarization. The
visual basic front-end makes the software extremely user friendly,
with interactive analysis of layer properties versus performance. It is
