Abstract

The electromagnetic radiation from flat cables (flexible printed circuit:FPC) which have different structures are analyzed using a three dimensional finite element method (3D-FEM). The electric fields at 3 m from the FPC were calculated by an integration method using the calculated E and H values inside of the FEM region and Green´s function. The calculated radiation from a microstrip structure FPC is smaller than that from a single layer FPC by about 17 dB in near field, 25 dB at 3 m from the FPC. The results were compared with E fields measured by antenna at 3 m from the FPC. The measured difference between the microstrip FPC and the single layer FPC is 11.5 dB. Adopting a microstrip structure FPC is effective in drastically reducing the EMI noise from the cable
