(c)
(i) In the context of analyzing electromagnetic interference, describe the
‘meaning of an ‘electricaliy small circuit’. [3 marks]
Gi) Briefly describe the advantage of analyzing an electrically small circuit as
compared to an electrically large circuit. [3 marks}
A simple representation of capacitive coupling between two conductors is shown in
Figure QI. Capacitance Cir is the stray capacitance between conductors 1 and 2.
Capacitance Cig is the capacitance between conductor I and ground, Cag is the
total capacitance between conductor 2 and ground, and R is the resistance of circuit
2 to ground. The resistance R results from the circuitry connected to conductor 2
and is not a stray component. Capacitance Cag consists of both the stray
capacitance of conductor 2 to ground and the effect of any circuitry connect to
conductor 2.
(i) Draw the equivalent lumped element circuit modet for the capacitive
coupling shown in Figure Qi. [2 marks]
(i) Consider the voltage V; on conductor 1 as the source of interference and
conductor 2 as the affected circuit. Derive and simplify the expression for the
noise voltage Vw produced between conductor 2 and ground in terms of Vi,
R, angular frequency «, and the relevant capacitances. [10 Marks}
With the help of diagrams, describe how noise can be coupled through a common
impedance shared by two different circuits. (7 marks]

Question 2
{a) Consider three parallel wires, two are the signal leads (lead! and lead-2) and the
third is a common signal-retumn lead (lead-G). The circuit of Figure Q2 represents
the capacitive and the inductive couplings between the circuits. Consider resistive
termination impedances only: Ris, Rit, Ros and Rat.

Define and briefly describe the terms of ‘capacitive coupling” and ‘inductive
coupling’. [4 marks}
State the condition when the capacitive and the inductive couplings can be
analysed separately. [2 marks}
Draw the equivalent circuit due to capacitive coupling only. [3 marks}
Draw the equivalent circuit due to inductive coupling only. (3 marks]
Referring to Figure Q2, lead-1 is now shielded with a coaxial sleeve, which is
grounded at one end only with a pigtail lead.
