The concept of dominant effect in EMC

The net effect one is trying to reduce (crosstalk, conducted emissions, radiated emissions, etc.) generally is the sum of two or more components, one of which is dominant. The circuit elements in the device under test often affect only one component. Changing the circuit element that effects the component which is not dominant will not significantly reduce the overall effect. This simple concept is examined in the context of three common EMC problems: crosstalk, conducted emissions, and radiated emissions. The intent in doing so is to increase the awareness of this concept so that frustrations and delays in reducing the total effect will be avoided
