PDN Impedance Analysis

Your PCB Has a Resonance Problem.
You Just Don't Know It Yet.

Dissonance EMC finds the PDN anti-resonance peaks and radiated emission risks in your board design — before you build a single prototype or book a single lab session.

The Problem

EMC Lab Failures Are Expensive.
And Predictable.

board respin and re-test delay when it doesn't

Nearly half of all hardware products fail EMC testing on the first attempt. Chamber time runs $1,250 per hour. A full compliance test costs $2,500 to $4,250 — and that's if everything goes right.

When it doesn't, you're looking at a board respin, a four to eight week delay, and another lab booking on top of that.

Most of those failures trace back to the same root cause: a power distribution network with anti-resonance peaks at the wrong frequencies. Peaks your processor clock harmonics land on. Peaks that show up as radiated emissions above the FCC Part 15 Class B limit. Peaks that could have been found and fixed at your desk.

The Solution

PDN Resonance Analysis.
At Your Desk. Before the Lab.

Dissonance EMC is a web-based pre-screening tool built specifically for hardware engineers. No EDA software required. No PCB file needed. No simulation engineer on staff.

Enter your board dimensions, layer stackup, capacitor values, and processor clock frequency. Dissonance EMC runs the PDN impedance analysis, identifies anti-resonance peaks, models your radiated emissions, and compares them against FCC Part 15 Class B limits — in seconds.

Export a PDF report with your results, your impedance plot, and your emissions estimate. Share it with your team or your EMC consultant before you ever step foot in a chamber.

  • PDN impedance vs. frequency plot with anti-resonance identification
  • Radiated emissions model vs. FCC Part 15 Class B limit overlay
  • Per-peak risk assessment and recommended capacitor changes
  • Downloadable PDF report — no account required for free trial

Engine validated — confirmed to less than 0.1% error across all test cases.

Why Dissonance EMC

Not Another Enterprise Simulation Suite.

Tools like Ansys SIwave, Siemens HyperLynx, and Cadence Sigrity are powerful. They are also $10,000 to $50,000 per year, require a complete routed PCB file, and need a trained simulation engineer to operate them.

Dissonance EMC is for the engineer who doesn't have any of that — but still needs to know if their board will pass before they book the lab.
