Among many EMI suppression techniques for radiated emissions from PCB traces, image technique is adapted in this paper. A model for the analysis of the effect of image plane on the radiation of a microstrip trace is presented. After a simulation was carried out by using the FEM(Finite Element Method), field strength was measured with electric probe. The radiated emission levels were measured for various image plane width, separation distances, and their results show that the measured data are very close to those of simulation result. It proves that a proper use of image planes on the PCBs is very effective means of reducing EMI emissions on the PCBs.
