   Low-Frequency Capacitive Coupling Model Capacitive Coupling at Low Frequencies When the condition 1 ω C 12 ≫ R 2 \frac{1}{\omega C_{12}} \gg R_2 ω C 12 ​   ​ ≫ R 2  ​ holds, capacitive coupling can be modeled as a current source . Equivalent Circuit Model The initial circuit includes a coupling capacitance C 12 C_{12} ​ , a ground capacitance C 2 g C_{2g} ​ , and a load resistance R 2 R_2 This model can be simplified by considering the capacitive divider effect. Further Approximation In many cases, if 1 ω ( C 12 + C 2 g ) ≫ R 2 \frac{1}{\omega (C_{12} + C_{2g})} \gg R_2 ω ( C 12 ​ + C 2 g ​ ) 1 ​ ≫ R 2 ​  holds, the circuit can be reduced to a current source proportional to the capacitive coupling C 12 C_{12} ​ , injecting current into the second circuit.      4.  Practical Implications At low frequencies, the electric-field coupling is effectively represented by a current source.

  Capacitive Coupling Response Mathematical Model of Capacitive Coupling The voltage ratio is given by: This equation shows that the induced voltage  V₂  on the second wire depends on the mutual capacitance  C₁₂ , ground capacitance  C₂g , load resistance  R₂ , and frequency  s  (Laplace domain variable). Frequency Response The graph illustrates the relationship between  frequency  and  coupling factor . The circuit exhibits  high-pass filter  characteristics, with the high-frequency gain determined by the capacitive divider between  C₁₂  and  C₂g . Increasing  C₂g  (bypassing capacitance) reduces high-frequency coupling, but this technique is only effective if the circuit connected to the second wire can tolerate the additional capacitance. Impact of Load Impedance When  R₂  is reduced, the coupling effect decreases, leading to a lower induced voltage  V₂ . This explains why an effe...

Electric Field Coupling in EMC Two-Conductor Model Consider two conductors: The first conductor carries a voltage V₁ . The second conductor is connected to a load with impedance R₂ and has a voltage V₂ . Each conductor has a parasitic capacitance to ground, denoted as C₁g and C₂g . In addition, there is mutual capacitance C₁₂ between the two conductors, which causes capacitive coupling.2 Mechanism of Capacitive Coupling When there is a voltage difference between the two conductors, an electric field is formed. The electric field lines connecting the first conductor to the second conductor create mutual capacitance C₁₂ , allowing part of the signal from V₁ to couple to V₂ . In an ideal scenario without crosstalk, V₂ would not be influenced by V₁ . However, in reality, the existence of C₁₂ leads to unintended signal transfer between the conductors. Impact of Load Impedance The level of coupling depends on both the value of C₁₂ and the impedance of the receiving circui...

  Non-Conductive Coupling in EMC 1. Introduction In EMC design and testing, one of the crucial issues to consider is the phenomenon of non-conductive coupling between circuits. This is a mechanism by which signals can be transferred from one circuit to another without a direct electrical connection. This phenomenon can cause crosstalk and affect the performance of electronic systems. There are three main types of non-conductive coupling: Electric field coupling (capacitive coupling) Magnetic field coupling (inductive coupling) Mixed coupling 2. Types of Non-Conductive Coupling 2.1. Capacitive Coupling Capacitive coupling occurs when a signal in a circuit creates an electric field that can influence another circuit. This phenomenon can be modeled by the stray capacitance between circuits. Operating Mechanism: When there is a voltage difference between two adjacent conductors, an electric field is formed. Parasitic capacitance between the two conductors can transfer si...

Electric Field Coupling in EMC 1. Formation of Electric Fields An electric field arises whenever there is a voltage difference between two objects in space. When a voltage V is applied to a parallel plate structure, charges accumulate on the surfaces of the plates, creating an electric field between them. Within the region between the plates, the electric field intensity E is uniform and depends on: The voltage difference between the two plates. The distance between the conductive plates. Electric field lines are formed by the voltage potential and always terminate at a conductive surface. These field lines help describe how electric fields couple between objects, influencing charge distribution in electronic circuits. 2. Applications and Effects of Electric Field Coupling In electronic circuit design, intentional electric field coupling is used to form the fundamental operating principle of capacitors. Therefore, in circuit analysis, this coupling is effectively modeled as...
