2.2.6 EMI
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), from either outside or insidethe device or applicationsystem,affects the system in
the conductive ways suchas capacitive coupling,inductive coupling,and electromagneticradiation. There are two types
of electromagnetic interference: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on the type of the
transmission path. When the energy, often RF energy, from a componentarrives ata sensitive component through the
space,the energyis knownas radiated interference.The interference source can be either a part of the interferedsystem
or a completelyelectrically isolated unit. Conducted interference results from an electromagnetic wire or signal cable
connection between the sourceand the sensitivecomponent,alongwhichcablethe interferenceconducts from oneunit
to another. Conducted interference oftenaffects the powersupplyof the device, but can be controlled by a filter. Radiated
interference mayaffect any signalpathinthe device and is difficultto shield.
Take interference prevention measuresforthe powersupplysystem.
Keepthe switchfar away from the surge protectionandgrounding system ofthe powerdevice.
Keepthe switchfar away from high-frequencycurrent devices such as the high-powerradiotransmittingstation and
radarlauncher.
Take electromagneticshieldingmeasureswhennecessary.
2.3 Fiber Connections
Ensure that the optical module type and fiber match the optical port. The transmit end on the local device should be
connected to the receive end on the peer device, and the receive end on the local device should be connected to the
transmitendonthe peerdevice.
