Inductively Coupled In-Circuit Impedance Measurement and Its EMC Applications

In-circuit impedance provides key information for many EMC applications. The inductive coupling approach is a promising method for in-circuit impedance measurement because its measurement setups have no direct electrical contact with the energized system under test, thus greatly simplifying the on-site implementation. This paper presents and summaries the latest research on the inductive coupling approach and its EMC applications. First of all, three common measurement setups for this approach and their respective pros and cons are discussed. Subsequently, their EMC applications are introduced. Finally, recommendations for future research are listed.
