Electromagnetic near-field PCB Probes are open source
https://www.electronics-lab.com/electromagnetic-near-field-pcb-probes-are-open-source/
In modern compact electronic circuits, there are several components on a confined PCB area, and so, the electromagnetic effects induced from one component may affect the surrounding components. This disturbance is known as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The source of the radiation must be identified in PCBs to predict the EMC of electronic circuits. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) […]
