Design for Guaranteed EMC Compliance

This 2-day 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. It is assumed that students taking this course have a basic understanding of fundamental EMC concepts (for example, students that have completed the Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Compatibility course or the Electronic Systems Design for EMC Compliance course). The focus of the course will be on the application of these fundamental concepts to the systematic evaluation of actual product designs.
