Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Interference (EMI)
EE-40194
Learn about EMC and EMI
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the capability for multiple, diverse systems to operate in close proximity without causing or being subject to interference which can cause damaging effects to other technologies.
Participants in this course will obtain basic understanding of electromagnetic compatibility and interference (EMI) concepts as well as design skills to measure them. Students will be introduced to different EMC regulations, standards, and requirements. Intro to EMC & EMI provides practical techniques and simulation models for estimating electromagnetic emissions from electrical and electronic devices, and typical susceptibility levels of devices. The students will receive training necessary to construct mathematical models for specific problems, learn about characteristics such as attenuation and frequency response, typical coupling, and propagation paths.
Hands-on experience is offered through simulation assignments using PSPICE (free version) and MATLAB (student version).
