Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems, 2nd Edition

by Henry Ott

This updated and expanded version of the very successful first edition offers new chapters on controlling the emission from electronic systems, especially digital systems, and on low-cost techniques for providing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for consumer products sold in a competitive market. There is also a new chapter on the susceptibility of electronic systems to electrostatic discharge. There is more material on FCC regulations, digital circuit noise and layout, and digital circuit radiation. Virtually all the material in the first edition has been retained. Contains a new appendix on FCC EMC test procedures.

A book titled Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems should have more applicable information than this. I am particularly interested in grounding and shielding for audio frequencies. In Ott's examples, even when using shielded twisted pairs one side is always tied to the grounded shield. For a balanced line? His amplifiers always have a common. I use non-inverting op amps where there is no common not 4 terminal amps. It's not clear what "technique" to utilize.

Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems, 2nd Edition

[Douglas Powell]

This book by Henry Ott is a timeless classic. Henry is a well-known consultant and takes a very practical, no-nonsense approach in this book to EMC problems. I expect the principles outlined will never become obsolete.

This is a dry book but it does contain information you won't find elsewhere. Worth keeping on the reference shelf.
