 Abstract   A near filed magnetic or electric sensor with high spatial resolution is needed to carry out EMI measurements on PCB in order to properly identify the components that behaves as disturbance sources. The magnetic probes commercially available are not suitable for this purpose: they have good accuracy and enough bandwidth but poor spatial resolution. To overcome this problem, a new magnetic field probe has been designed. This new sensor is described in this paper and provides a flat response up to 220MHz. A comparison of the experimental results of EMI measurements on a microprocessor board done with the new probe and with a commercial one are presented. These results shown that the new magnetic probe is suitable for identifying noisy components and the efficacy of corrective techniques like decoupling capacitors.
