OverviewWhat is it?Radio InterferencePreventing
What is it?Unwanted signals
◦Effect electronic circuits
Radio InterferenceInternational Electrotechnical
Commission◦1933 set up International Special
Committee on Radio InterferenceEU
◦EMC Directive (89/336/EC) Immunity Emissions
Radio Interference TypesNarrow band
◦TX equipmentBroad band
◦Power lines◦Motors◦Computers and TV
Antenna◦Outside of antenna cable◦Unbalanced
Power supplies
Radio Interference SourcesTransmitting equipment
◦Harmonics◦Wrong frequency
Faulty electronic equipmentSunAurorasSplatter
RX interference sourcesClipping
◦Square wave Harmonics
Clipping from◦Power◦Microphone
PreventingFilterDon’t over drive the systemUse balunsRF chokeFaraday CageCablesElectric Earth
PreventingBaluns
◦Matching between balanced and unbalanced lines
◦Conver between 300/450 W lines and 75 W coax
PreventingBaluns
◦Wound around a iron core
PreventingRF choke
◦inductor
PreventingFaraday Cage
◦Metal cage or mesh◦Can block radio waves
Small gapes depending on wavelength
PreventingCables
◦Twisted pair Cancelling out
◦Coax Inner conductor Outer “shielding” conductor
