EMC and Transmitter Interference

Prevention (1)

  • Appropriate transmit power
  • Mode of transmission – FM is the most benign, ssb the worst offender
  • Choice of antenna type, location, feeder – balanced antennas and feeders minimise feeder radiation; balanced feed should not run near ground or metal objects as this will unbalance it; use of a balun if feeding a dipole, with good quality co-ax
  • Appropriate filters
