Dave, I think you 'described' it without 'explaining' it. I always figured that a layman's explanation for the difference between near-field and far-field signals was that near-fields are the portion of the field that is close enough (at the speed of light,) to collapse back onto its source as the signal's source polarity reverses, while far-fields are the portion of the field that is not close enough to get back before the reversal, and thus is 'pushed away', and must continue on as free-space radiation, an effect that essentially turns an antenna into an electromagnetic-field 'pump'. This explains why longwave near-fields can extend a mile from an antenna, while microwave near-fields are centimeters or less.

Howdy. Nice presentation. Some comments. Near field. The E and H components are 90 degrees out of phase. Almost all field energy collapses back into the antenna periodically. Far field. The E and H components are in phase. The energy has broken free and travels forward. The intermediate field or the Fresnel field. The phase shift is between 90 degrees and 0 degrees. Some of the energy collepses and the rest propagates. What is the mechanism that splits the components into collapsing parts and propagating parts ? Collapsing takes time. Field lines closer to the antenna have time to collapse. Field lines farther away do not have time to collapse completely they will encounter the build up of the next half wave field at the antenna. The ends of the field lines disconnect from the antenna and interconnect to form loops that travel forwads. Regards.

Thank you so much. I've seen textbooks that depict the E and M waves in phase, and other books that show them 90 degrees out of phase. I've asked physicists about that and never got a clear answer. I always thought it would make sense for them to be 90 degrees out of phase because then the energy of one field is at peak when the other is at zero, so the energy is converted from one to the other. But it also makes sense for them to be in phase at the antenna. You just wrapped it up, so thank you.

This "E field" probe is actually an electric potential (voltage) probe. Electric potential is a scalar and has no direction. In isotropic materials B and H are always proportional to each other. In fact it is quite difficult to find or to engineer materials having tensor magnetic susceptibility; materials having tensor electric susceptibility are numerous. In free space E=cB and B=mu H, but in materials mu is larger than 4pi X 10^-7. So whether we call the magnetic component of EM waves B or H is purely theoretical other than the proportionality constant with E.

Hi Dave! Go for Schwarzbech, good antennas, and fair prices! But it depends if you want an antenna just to cover 30 to 250 or 300 MHz. In this case go for a biconical antenna. If you want to cover the band from 30 MHz to 1GHz with a single antenna, go for a so called hybrid antenna, the union of a biconical and log antenna, otherwise called bi-log. Happy EMCing!

If you look at the datasheets of those expensive antennas you'll apreciate how much variation is on parameters like the antenna factor, antenna gain, directivity and so on. The reason for those prices, apart from high quality materials that imporve the performance, are the calibration data that you get with them in order to be able to calculate with accuracy radiated and received power (Basically same concept as you explained in your video about why Fluke meteres are so expensive). So basically you're buying parameters to fill in your Friis ecuation, and certifications needed if you want to be a EMC certification lab. I think you can build your own antenna but you'll end up with the same problem of having several cheap antennas that cover all the frequencies range, the only advantage I see is that you won't need to switch from one antenna to other while sweeping the entire band.

Dave, you have said in the past you're not a radio guy, but you should look into an antenna called the Quad Loop. Basically, a simple square(or any shape, really) antenna with a variable capacitor inserted at the feedpoint. I have built several of these(including the caps), and while the dimensions and cap values are important, they are not critical to function, as it's a tuneable antenna. Bonus: it has a fairly narrow(bilateral - dependent upon shape) gain pattern, so isolation is easier. One I manufactured for 20 meters(14MHz) measures only about 2/3 of a meter in its largest dimension. Getting down to 30MHz or low-VHF should not be a problem at all, and it would be even smaller. I used a simple SDR as a frequency domain analyzer to verify my tuning range, but I'm pretty sure you have one of those laying around the shop. As you tune the cap, you'll see the spike in the signals move around the frequency domain. Barring that, a coil of wire of the correct length or one wound around the correct ferrite rod will get you reception in high HF/low VHF. Or even lower - this is what most AM receivers use and I have seen those measuring only inches long; albeit with sometimes strange gain patterns, but it you put on in a Faraday Bucket(a cage with an open side), you may get good results. PS, I'm trying to get down to the site for the Solar Road demo in Baltimore and get some pics for you. I try to avoid that place, as it's all a "bad neighborhood"...

When testing in the chamber if we got within 3db of the limit or so, we would have to take the kit outside and retest at the points that got too close to the limit line. As reflections off the chamber walls could be making our test sample appear better than it is. This means you may o ly need to a few test frequencies out side. We used to get problems outside as the test site was 6 miles for a small city with its airport so quite a lot of rf noise. Also on damp days electric fences can be heard clicking away over a very wide spectrum. So even looking at a single frequency outside could take up quite a long time. And ho boy their time is a lot of money.

I had to learn the basics about Nearfield effects of RF transmitters for MRI Safety. It's absurd that a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner, designed for imaging humans, can cause RF burns. If a patient has any part of their body within 5mm of the inside bore of the MRI scanner, nearfield effects are possible. This would be like building a car with holes on the floor, then blaming the driver then they lose a foot by putting it through the hole. Hoping to understand better from this video :)

Bit of a weird suggestion, but would it help if you immersed the antenna in a tank of distilled water? Seems to have a fairly consistent permittivity of about 80, and a relatively low loss factor at 100mhz (~5e-3) The impedance mismatch would lead to a ~4.4 dB loss due to reflection, but the wavelength in the water Is Lower by a factor 9 which would bring it close to the 30mhz you needed? Even tap wateright work, should have a skin depth measured in meters, which seems workable Don't the antennas in mobile phones to a similar thing to reduce the needed length, but with better dielectrics than water?

Does Australia allow you to do your own certifications? It used to be allowable in the UK if done by a 'competent' person and using calibrated equipment and done to the correct standards. You still had to hire calibrated equipment and the process is very time consuming, so in the end might not be much savings as compared to having it done by a professional test house. I'm going back to the mid nineties here - I worked somewhere where they decided to self certify a custom built power supply for use in their own equipment. Due to EMC rules, it became very costly for the small independent electronics manufacturer to supply ready built equipment as everything needed to have EMC compliance in addition to complying with electrical safety standards.

The "far field probe" is basically a regular antenna. I doubt that you can buy a cheap log-periodic antenna for HF (3-30 MHz). Firstly, because of the wavelength the antenna will be huge. Secondly, because these antennas are manufactured for amateur radio operators. This market is really crazy, a piece of wire with a ferrite core can easily cost 100-200 USD. If you need an HF antenna the cheapest and simplest option is to make one. There are many articles online that explain how to make a dipole, two element yagi and wideband variations of these antennas. From personal experience it takes one Saturday to make a dipole or two element yagi if you never tried this before. However you will need some free space, about 30ft of 22 AWG wire, a 10m fishing rod (two for yagi) and an antenna analyzer / SWR meter. The FAA-450 from Electroparts is a good product in terms of price/quality and it covers 0.5-450 Mhz. Also it's an open hardware project by EU1KY amateur radio operator.

(And maybe a word of how quanta and classical physics really throw a bum-wrench in the understanding of wireless transmission.) I feel like I should understand those particular things thoroughly, but I don't. I only fake it and have always let the equations do the work for me in the past. It would be really nice to have a better conceptual model of radio transmission. It's all about that mysterious place in the in-between --- the near-to-far transition. In any case, a Merry Christmas! to you and yours and may 2020 bring good fortune to you all.

That's E not S. E is vertical if the radio wave is "vertically polarized" which depends on antenna orientation, since the convention is to refer to polarization in terms of the electric field. If a waveguide is used then it also depends on its orientation (which can be twisted), and as it happens the magnetic field follows the wider side of a waveguide, so it is vertically polarized when the opening looks like it is horizontal.

30-300 MHz log periodic? It's not going to be cheap, because it'll be quite large. The bowtie is a great antenna for 300 MHz, because it's relatively small, and it's bandwidth is almost 100 MHz. It allows the log perodic section to start just below 400 MHz, which makes it smaller, too. At 30 MHz, the bowtie's bandwidth drops to 10 MHz, and it would be something near 24 ft wide. It saves you about a foot each way (width and length) on the log-periodic-only (30-300 MHz) version (vs. a 30-40 MHz bowtie plus 40-300 MHz log-periodic). Not enough space savings to justify the extra materials and work, really, and either way - Huge. It's not hard to make your own log-periodic antenna. There are a few log-periodic design programs around. Here's one site that gives all the details and a calculator: hamwaves.com/lpda/en/index.html, though you'd have to use larger square tubing and 1/4" aluminum tubing for those lengths. If that's just too huge, you could try a Fan Dipole. They're very popular with Amateur Radio people who just can't afford one of those huge beam antennas, and you can make it out of wire and roll it up for storage when you don't need it, or just leave it flat on the wall.

Yes except that it is big /changes/ in current that would produce the alternating H field that is relevant here. A large constant current would produce a constant magnetic field like a magnet, and wouldn't be measurable with that probe, and wouldn't form a radio wave when combined with the E field beyond the far field distance. For more on magnetics, and measuring constant magnetic fields with a different kind of probe, see the AppliedScience video on the BH Curve.

The switching node is actually high E field due to high dv/dt, while your input/output loop (depending on buck/boost) is high dI/dt and therefor high H field.

If you test in an OATS facility, then you have to deal with all of the TV and radio stations in the area, as well as whatever smaller transmitters are near (probably wifi and the like). Dave was talking about emissions testing, but there is also the issue of immunity testing, where RF energy is directed at the device under test. In an OATS, this can get you in trouble with the FCC or the local equivalent.

@@threeMetreJim I've never designed consumer electronics, so I'm not sure about the specifics. FCC part 15 is the basic spec on emissions, which is that the device isn't allowed to interfere in the standard radio and TV bands, etc. (if I recall correctly, etc) Dealing with EMC regulations isn't for the faint of heart. For a small hobbyist selling a few items, it's not a concern. If you are selling a lot of stuff, you might be liable for any problems caused by your product or may have to provide replacements or refunds. This is when it's good to consult with an EMC test house and get their guidance. regarding immunity testing specifically.... that probably depends more on the type of product. If it's a toy, then it is no big deal if it stops working when someone uses a cell phone nearby. If there are safety implications, then you'll want to do whatever the industry standard testing is. Even concerns about customer satisfaction might be a good reason to do immunity testing... no one wants to deal with thousands of customers seeking refunds or replacements.

Hi Dave, I have always been suspicious about the drawings or animations that show the E and B parts of the EM fields in phase with each other. Indeed Faraday and Ampere equations that are part of Maxwell's equations precisely state that there should be a quarter wavelength shift between E and B when these contain only a single frequency. But I could never find *any* drawing actually showing the right representation. Do you have any clue? I may misunderstand something.
@EEVblog
@EEVblog 4 жыл бұрын
If you do the Maxwell business then that can popout for various polarisations. But for linear polarisation the phase angles are the same. And yes, I don't think I've ever seen it pictured that way either though. Maybe because it more confusing drawn that way? Don't know.

In free space E and H are always in phase. It is curl of E that is equal to the partial time derivative of B and in absence of lossy materials (i.e. real wave impedance) the E and H field will be in phase. If E and H were to be out of phase by 90º the time average of Poynting vecotor (E*conj(H))would be 0 and there would be no transmission of power

The cheap antenna are easy to figure out. Usually take little more than basic geometry to compare the expected waveform to what the antenna is configured to be sensitive to. Since your talking cheap, you can safely assume there's only bare minimum signal processing if any and rely on physical characteristics.

Also the fundamental frequency that fits within this boundary (I.E 2π * 60) is equal to 376.99Hz....... WTF? I know its Ohms not Freq but still, nature loves a coincidence :-P Also, 376.99112 / 123 = 3.065 1, 2, 3.... 123... I kicked myself when I realized.
