  • Publication number: 20230232505
    Abstract: Systems may include a heater including a plurality of heating elements that may include a first heating element configured to generate heat based on a first current, and a second heating element configured to generate heat based on a second current. Systems may further include an electromagnetic (EM) radiation reducing device configured to cancel electromagnetic emissions from the heater. The EM radiation reducing device may include a first EM radiation reduction element positioned adjacent to a first side of the heater, and a second EM radiation reduction element positioned adjacent to a second side of the heater, where the first and second EM radiation reduction elements have geometries configured based, at least in part, on the heater.
