In the design of network interface controllers, implementation of the so called Bob Smith terminations has become a de facto standard. Objective of this work is to assess the actual role of the Bob Smith terminations in the mitigation of emissions. This is done by resorting to modal analysis and focusing on the common-mode currents placed on the Ethernet cable.
