In this paper, a dipole-moment based reciprocity method is applied to a consumer electronic device. The dipole moment is then used to predict radio-frequency interference (RFI) from a high-speed connector to two nearby RF antennas. The connector has a 3D structure with data pins verticallyoriented, for which the near H field pattern around the connector shows a half magnetic dipole pattern. This is different from typical complete dipole patterns over planar printed PCB (printed circuit board) structures. To tackle this problem, a magnetic dipole is placed in full-wave simulation with a similar connector structure. Using the reference near field data from simulation an equivalent magnetic dipole moment for the measured field is obtained. Further reciprocity theorem is applied to predict RFI based on the equivalent dipole magnitude and the antenna reverse H field. The predicted RFI shows a fairly good match with the measured RFI for both victim antennas.
