Homework Statement
"The strip conductor LB that is common to both circuits has an inductance of 100mH. The resistance of the common trace portion is negligibly small. The amplitude of u2 is 10V and f=1MHz. Due to the galvanic coupling via the trace component LB, there is an interference voltage at the measuring amplifier. Determine the interference voltage."

Am I in heading into the right direction? Do I need to consider R2 as well? I would be very thankful if you help me solving this.

This is a voltage divider problem. The impedances for the U2 circuit are 1 kOhm + 100 mHenry. The 100 mH is in common with the U1 circuit. Hence, the interference voltage Ui = U2 * (j w .1) / (1000 + j w 0.1). w in this case is 2 * pi * 1e6 Hz. Note the Ui you will get from this is a complex value, from which you will want to compute its magnitude.
 

FAQ: How to calculate the interference voltage?

What is interference voltage?

Interference voltage refers to unwanted electrical noise or signals that can disrupt the normal operation of electronic circuits. It is typically induced by external sources such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI).

How do I measure interference voltage?

To measure interference voltage, you can use an oscilloscope or a spectrum analyzer. These instruments allow you to visualize and quantify the voltage levels of interference signals over a range of frequencies.

What are the common methods to calculate interference voltage?

Common methods to calculate interference voltage include using Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin's theorem, and superposition theorem. These techniques help in analyzing circuit behavior and determining the impact of interference on voltage levels.

How can I reduce interference voltage in my circuit?

To reduce interference voltage, you can use shielding, grounding, and filtering techniques. Shielding involves enclosing sensitive components in a conductive material, grounding helps to divert unwanted signals away from the circuit, and filtering uses components like capacitors and inductors to block or attenuate interference.

What tools or software can assist in calculating interference voltage?

Various simulation software like SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis), MATLAB, and specialized EMI/EMC analysis tools can assist in calculating and analyzing interference voltage. These tools allow you to model your circuit and predict the impact of interference under different conditions.
