FASTER CLOCK SPEEDS, FASTER ELECTRONIC PARTS, AND THE INCREASED USE OF PLASTIC ENCLOSURES, ARE PRESENT TRENDS DETRIMENTAL TO THE EMC PERFORMANCE. OTHER ADVERSE TRENDS TO EMC ARE THE ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MARKETING TREND TO SHORTEN THE DESIGN CYCLE TIME AND COST REDUCTION. THIS PAPER PROVIDES SOME GENERAL DESIGN SUGGESTIONS TO COPE WITH THE ADDED DIFFICULTY OF DESIGNING EQUIPMENTS FOR THE DESIRED EMC THREATS.
