Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Description
With the ever-increasing use of electrical and electronic products, it is becoming increasingly important to prevent unwanted electromagnetic interactions. These can be disturbances over the mains, as used to be common with hoovers, but can also be disturbances via radio frequency fields or other electromagnetic effects.
This is why nowadays all products are tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) before market introduction. In addition to regulatory requirements, manufacturers often impose additional requirements to achieve higher robustness. With complex products, a systematic approach from the first design step onwards is necessary to prevent solving interference problems in the final product from resembling looking for a needle in a haystack.
In this lecture, Dr Dick Harberts of the Philips EMC centre will give an overview of the electromagnetic interactions that can occur, how these are measured and how these undesirable interactions can be prevented
