Murata has a large number of noise suppression solutions, organized by application, which combine EMI components, capacitors, and other components that constitute the company’s strength. The individual in charge described to Company K’s project team the “solutions for suppressing noise in wireless power transfer,” and suggested that attempts to suppress the noise generated in the prototypes be carried out as a joint operation with Murata.
Company K decided immediately to introduce these solutions, and checked its current design status. As a result, it figured out that the noise could probably be suppressed by inserting the noise suppression components suggested by Murata into the problem areas while making very few changes to its current design.
Since the target values were satisfied for the boards, they went ahead and mounted the components into the prototypes, and conducted the final measurements. As a result, it was found that noise could be suppressed even in the mounted state, and hopes were high that they would be able to produce the products.
As a further step, Murata provided Company K with a comprehensive service and support setup to contribute to the preparations for mass production. In fact, in China, where mass production was planned, the local affiliate for Murata and Company K created a project of their own and quickly moved forward with a setup for supplying products and providing technical assistance. In this way, they created a stable foundation for promoting business, and they are working even today behind the scenes to ensure that activities are going smoothly.
