Important: Students taking this course should have completed either the Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Compatibility course, the Electronic Systems Design for EMC Compliance course, the Design for Automotive EMC Compliance course, or the Printed Circuit Board Design for EMC and Signal Integrity course. 

Description

Designing for EMC compliance is not a matter of following a set of design rules or sealing everything inside a metal enclosure. It is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating all EMC sources, victims and coupling paths within a system, as well as coupling between the system and its environment. Designing for compliance helps to ensure that products meet their cost and development schedule targets.

This 12-hour course leads students through the process of systematically ensuring that their product designs will meet all applicable EMC requirements. Students will learn to identify and utilize the ground structure, control the flow of high- and low-frequency currents, identify and characterize potential sources and victims of EMI, control bandwidths, ignore structures and coupling paths that do not contribute to EMC problems, and systematically identify and evaluate structures and coupling paths capable of causing a product to be non-compliant.
