Think EMC is just about meeting regulations? Think again. Discover how electromagnetic compatibility's true purpose—ensuring systems work harmoniously with themselves—revolutionized modern electronics design.

This column describes a simple method to measure capacitor parasitic parameters (ESR and inductance) using a pulse generator and oscilloscope. This helps evaluate capacitor performance for applications sensitive to these parameters without requiring expensive network analyzers.

When engineering fixes meet business pressures, technical integrity is put to the test. This article reveals how a simple cable break dramatically degraded EMC performance by up to 40dB, yet management chose the convenient answer over empirical evidence—a cautionary tale for compliance engineers everywhere.

Product manufacturers can solve warning label overload by using ISO's "Refer to manual" symbol with QR codes, creating an effective three-part safety communication system that strengthens legal duty-to-warn compliance.
