This is the #1 mistake on my list of the Top 10 PCB Design Mistakes for EMI Control.
Understanding why this is critical unlocks many other fundamentals of EMI control.
It requires shifting your mindset from thinking about charges flowing in conductors to understanding electromagnetic field propagation.
By building structures to channel and redirect these fields, you can harness them to do useful work.
If you think EMI is too complex or even 'black magic,' I’m here to tell you it’s actually simpler than it seems—but it demands a change in perspective on the fundamentals.
