Abstract

The paper describes the characterisation of the radiated electromagnetic emission (EME) caused by different clock trees. Although the output-driver are assumed to be one of the main sources for generation of electromagnetic emission, the clock trees should also be considered as a possible source for EME problems. This paper therefore deals with clock tree measurements and with the investigation how on-chip decoupling capacitors could influence the EME of ICs. The TEM-cell method described in IEC 61967-2 is used for these measurements.
