Definitions

  • This invention relates to an arrangement for ameliorating the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as that generated by noisy equipment.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • the invention is particularly applicable to multi-wire cables emerging from otherwise EMI sealed equipment housings. In such instances, EMI can escape from the housing and radiate from the cables or be fed into other equipment via the cables.
  • a known solution to this problem is to use a plurality of filters, one for each line, to prevent the EMI emerging form the housing.
  • low pass filters may be used.
  • This specification therefore discloses a method of reducing above band noise signals on a multi-wire cable, the method including applying a distributed EMI coupling means over at least part of the length of the cable, the length of the coupling means being sufficient to attenuate the noise signals below a pre-determined threshold.
  • the specification also discloses an arrangement for filtering above-band noise signals from a multi-wire cable, the arrangement including an earthed distributed EM coupling means distributed over at least a part of the length of the cable, the length of the coupling means being such that the coupling of the above-band noise signals to the distributed coupling is sufficient to attenuate the noise signals to below a predetermined threshold over the length of the distributed impedance.
  • Figure 1 shows first and second equipment housings interconnected by a cable, according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a graph representing noise attenuation against cable length.
  • Figure 1 represents a multiplexer 1, connected to a PABX 10 via a length of multi-pair cable containing over 100 pairs.
  • the multiplexer generates noise at frequencies above 30MHz.
  • the multiplexer is co-located with the PABX and the length of the cable would ordinarily be of the order of 5 to 10 meters.
  • the multiplexer 1 is shown schematically as containing signal processing equipment 2, and the noise generating source 3 which impose signals and EMI respectively on a multi pair cable 4.
  • the EMI is generated incidentally to the signal processing, e.g. in sampling the signals.
  • the housing of the multiplexer 1 is sealed against EMI, but the cable 4 exits via an aperture in the housing enabling EMI to escape from the housing 1 on the cable lines 6.
  • shielding 7 which forms an EMI seal with the housing of multiplexer 1.
  • the shielding 7 prevents the EMI on the lines 6 from radiating.
  • the PABX 10 feeds a plurality of telephone subsets, 20.... 30, which are connected to the PABX by unshielded telephone lines.
  • the noise will be radiated by the telephone lines.
  • the noise signal can be attenuated to a predetermined level, e.g. to a level set by standards for permissible noise at the frequency of interest.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the reduction in noise signal in relation to the length of shielded cable. As shown, a particular noise threshold can be achieved by providing a sufficient length of shielding.
  • Our invention takes advantage of this characteristic by providing an additional length of cable, shown schematically as loop 8, to ensure the EMI is sufficiently attenuated.
  • the housing of the multiplexer 1 and the shielding 7 effectively form a Faraday cage which prevents the escape of the target EMI frequencies.
  • the remote and of shielding 7 is grounded to the same potential as the housing 1.
  • the shielding acts as a distributed capacitance to which the EMI is coupled and attenuates the EMI.
  • the invention has the advantage that otherwise non-EMI compliant equipment can be made EMI compliant. This eases the design requirements for the internal circuits which do not need to implement specific EMI techniques. Equipment design is therefore more flexible because the hardware design criteria is less stringent.
  • a sufficient length of conductive braid or metal tape may be applied to shield unshielded cables to a length sufficient to attenuate the EMI, and, where necessary, an EMI sealed housing applied around the equipment if the existing housing is not EMI sealed.
  • the newly applied shielding is connected electrically to the EMI sealed housing to form a Faraday cage.
