eEngineer: Electromagnetic Compatibility

Focus:

This section of the Radioing.com site provides extensive, yet easy-to-follow information on electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and radio frequency interference (RFI). The introduction explains the concepts, terminology, and major regulatory agencies relating to EMI, EMC, and RFI. The RFI page provides more definitions on this topic. The virtual tools index provides an RF calculation that converts between various units of signal strength and lists the different conversion factors. The Engineering eNotes section provides FAQs on EMI/EMC, information on frequency band designations, a link to the FCC Interference Handbook, and guidelines for PCB layout and commonly encountered problems. The section on EMI/EMC software explains the simulation methods employed by EMI simulation software, describes features to look for when specifying EMI/EMC software, and information on HyperLynx PCB analysis software. The sections on Commercial EMI/EMC Standards and Military EMI/EMC Standards provide extensive lists of relevant standards. Also, provided are links to relevant organizations and standards bodies and a glossary of EMI/EMC-related terminology.

What you’ll learn:

• How to understand EMI, EMC, and RFI-related concepts, terminology, applicable standards, simulation tools, and organizations
