Question no. 5

You have to run a DC power pair and a transducer pair in the same 2m long cable with 7/0.2 untwisted wire pairs, separated by 1mm of insulation. The power comes from a switchmode supply with a quoted output ripple amplitude of 10mV at the switching frequency of 100kHz. The transducer has a high impedance input with a maximum bandwidth of 50kHz and a 6dB/octave attenuation above that, and the signal is A-D converted with a least significant bit resolution of 0.6mV. Will you need filtering to prevent the power supply affecting the resolution, if so how much, and where?

Question no. 6

You have a DC power cable running to a 1kW DC-DC converter with a 24V input, consisting of two separate wires of about 0.5m length. You need to deal with an emissions problem at around 150MHz which you've traced to this cable. You need a quick and easy solution; and a cable ferrite looks like the answer. Do you:
