EC6011 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND COMPATIBILITY
TWO MARK QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
UNIT II COUPLING MECHANISM
1. What are the different methods of noise coupling? (or) List out the types of coupling
between cables (or) List the EMI coupling methods.
Typical modes of noise coupling are
Conductive coupling through cables.
Coupling through common impedance.
Coupling by radiated E and H field.
Ground loop coupling.
2. Define Common and Differential Mode Noise. (or) Draw common mode and differential
mode coupling in circuits (or) Draw CM and DM coupling in circuits
CM : Interference signal in two lines are unidirectional and return through ground. It is
common to both the lines
DM : Interference signal in two lines are oppositely directed and thus no ground current
path is required. The difference between the signals in two lines.

16. Name the two factors that tend to affect the amount of interference that would otherwise
be transmitted along a conducted path.
The distance between the two conduction paths and the grounding method are the two factors
which affect the amount of interference. If the conducting paths are close, the coupling is more and
the multiple grounding may cause coupling loops.
18. Define edge rate.
The edge rate is defined as the rate of change of the clock pulse or signal pulse. If the rate is high
then switching control in the high speed digital circuitry is complex. If the rate is low then it
couples more noise during the transition of the pulse from one state to another state. So, the edge
rate should not be too high or too low. It should be in optimum rate in order to make the signal
integrity in the high speed digital circuit design. It is also called as Slew Rate
19. Explain common mode and differential mode impedance coupling
The coupling through the impedance occurs when the impedance is part of both circuits or
different equipment shares the common voltage source or current source.
If the current I1 and current I2 flow through the imepdance are in the same direction, then it rises
the common mode impedance coupling. It they are in opposite direction, then it gives differential
mode impedance coupling.
