Physical Data Transmission - Part 6: Controlling Interference
The video explains practical techniques for controlling inductive and capacitive interference in physical data transmission. It covers coaxial cable shielding—using a grounded outer conductor to contain electromagnetic fields—and explains limits of coax at high power and frequency. It then describes waveguides that confine and guide high‑frequency energy by matching dimensions to wavelength to minimize reflections (SWR), and shows how phase‑out wave mixing (as in twisted‑pair wiring) cancels emitted interference. The presenter links these concepts to broader radio techniques like beamforming and directional antennas.
