EMC and Transmitter Interference

Spurious Radiation (1)

  • Passive Intermodulation Products (PIPs) the so-called “rusty bolt” effect can be caused by high field strength, causing re-radiation at harmonic frequencies
  • Transmitter harmonics themselves can cause difficulties and good final amplifier design and operation coupled with low pass or band pass filtering is important
  • Spurious mixer products should be minimised by good design
