• The RF voltages and currents induced in each wire are applied to the controller pin to which the wire is connected. SME controllers include bypass capacitors on the printed circuit board’s wires to reduce the impact of this source of noise on the internal circuitry, but in some applications an additional filtering in the form of ferrite beads might also be required.
