AES San Francisco 2010
Broadcast and Media Streaming Track Event PD4

Saturday, November 6, 9:00 am — 10:45 am (Room 132)

Product Design: PD4 - Grounding & Shielding - Circuits and Interference (Part 1)

Presenter:
Ralph Morrison

Abstract:
This first session will discuss the way signals and power are transported. We will discuss the basic meanings of words such as voltage, current, capacitance, and inductance; the role conductor geometries have in controlling where signals and power can travel; the problems of utility and facility design together with the meaning of ground and earth; the interference problems created by transformers and facility wiring; a discussion of shielding as applied to analog circuits and radiating structures. Terms such as differential, balanced, common-mode, normal-mode, and single ended will be explained.
