Electromagnetic Radiation

The PCB traces and ICs carrying the high speed signal can be source of radiation. A high edge rate causes more chances of signal radiation. Traces that are not adequately terminated lead to more reflection and higher emission. The clock oscillators are major sources of radiation. The radiation pattern observed in a spectrum analyzer shows frequencies that are usually a multiple or harmonics of clock oscillators used in design.
