Abstract

This paper presents a composite computer-aided design (CCAD) package for prediction of electromagnetic (EM) radiation from a printed circuit board (PCB) at the design stage of equipment. Such a CCAD package has been developed by combining an EM computation tool such as numerical electromagnetic code (NEC)-2, with other circuit design packages (CDPs). The method of prediction of EM radiation using the CCAD is well described in this paper. The predicted EM radiation has been validated experimentally and results showing good agreement are presented. Finally, the reliability of the CCAD package is investigated and presented
