In this paper, the effects of random spread spectrum (SS) electromagnetic interference (EMI) on digital communications are addressed. For this purpose, the influence of EMI on a communication channel is described in the framework of information theory in terms of an equivalent channel capacity loss, which is analytically predicted and validated by experimental results. The EMI-induced channel capacity loss for non-modulated and SS-modulated interference generated by a switching-mode DC-DC power converter are then evaluated for different EMI and channel characteristics so that to compare different scenarios of practical interest.
