Lecture 18 – Radiated Emission Differential Current Model Prof. M. J. Akhtar
EE 644A – EMI/EMC Techniques
The common-mode currents are not required for functional performance of electronic products,
but they often produce larger radiated emissions than the differential mode currents.

The term 𝐼 represents the current at the center of the individual antenna element;
The factor F(𝜃) has a maximum value of unity representing the 𝜃 variation of the antenna pattern;
The term 𝑀 is a function of the antenna type.

EXAMPLE
Consider the case of a ribbon cable constructed of 28-gauge wires separated by a distance of 50 mils. The
length of each wire is 1 m, and that they are carrying a 30 MHz differential-mode current. Calculate the level
of differential-mode current that will give a radiated emission in the plane of the wires and broadside to the
cable (worst case) that just equals the FCC Class B limit (40 dB µV/m or 100 µV/m at 30 MHz).
