Welcome to Tim Foo's download site for the Archives of the EMCS Singapore Chapter and various things related to Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) , Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC),
software and some flyers & notes. I have placed some documents for download here
relating to the EMCS Singapore Chapter, TLM, FDTD and MoM.

Thank you for supporting the EMC short course "EMC for Engineers and Technologists" and .
If that hypertext link fails... and if you are inside the Ngee Ann intranet
try this link EMC 4 Eng & Tech.
This course was taught in the past once every year.
A new short course on " EMC Measurements & Regulations was conducted at MIMOS outside KL in 2008. I will be counting on support to get another class going perhaps in the latter part of 2009. :-)

E-mail me at fwj@NOSPAMnp.edu.sg , (remove the NOSPAM) for the latest information.

This page is continiously
under review and construction.
Please bear with me :-)

Thesis: A Qualitative Evaluation of Design Rules relating to PCB Design for EMC

To view a a selection from my thesis view/download the following:

  1. p0 title page, (25053 bytes),
  2. p11-14 A summary of PCB design rules relating to EMC , (131351 bytes) Developments Leading to this Thesis, Rules and Guidelines ....
  3. p19-36 PCB Layout and Radiated Emission, a chapter dealing with the way a certain method of layout (for some classes of PCB) that concludes with a novel analytical method of solution to determine the reduction in radiated emission from the presence of a Ground Plane inside a PCB e.g. as in that of a multilayer design. (470 kB, i.e. very long time to get the whole lot.)
  4. p34-35 2.3.1 Field Reduction through the use of a Ground Plane, a subsection from the above mention Chapter 2 dealing with the analytical method to determine the reduction of radiated emission through the use of a Ground Plane. (62 kB)
  5. p37-61 Chapter 3 on Decoupling Capacitors. Introduces a novel layout to optimise the layout of a double sided PCB to maximize the effectiveness of decoupling capacitors with DIL packages. (900+ kB)
  6. p60-72 CONCEPT II Simulation, a chapter dealing with the rules to model a layered media. (185 kB)
  7. p78 common mode current, battery on test circuit, simulation results ( 249978 bytes)
  8. p75-96 Results and Conclusion. This section describes a novel design introduced in this study. (703 kB; takes forever to load)
  9. p81-82 The novel design introduced in this study (69 kB, just the subsection of the bigger chapter)
  10. p97-104 Bibliography, list of references used in this study (301 kB)
  11. p104 (probably an older version, it was eventually published as page 107) Layout of test PCB and some simulation models ( 293 kB PDF file )

Some Simulation Results using CONCEPT II for a CNE (Continious Noise Emitter)
