Diagnosing Radiation Causes 

A small sniffer probe can help diagnose the cause of an electromagnetic 
interference problem. This section addresses using sniffer probes for a rough 
estimate of field impedance, which is used to diagnose the radiation physics of a 
given situation. 

Knowing the field impedance can help find solutions to EMI problems. When 
presented with an EMC/EMI problem, you need to know two things: 1) What is 
radiating inside the unit, and 2) Why the component or circuit is radiating.
