Abstract
“EMC MUST BE DESIGNED INTO THE SYSTEM”
The discipline of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is concerned with the design of Electronic Systems, while minimizing electromagnetic coupling and interference from within the system and between the system to its environment.
The discipline of electromagnetic compatibility covers and requires involvement in a wide range of other fields of engineering, mechanical and packaging engineering, electronic engineering, etc.
For the adequate control of electromagnetic interference (EMI), strict international standards and regulations have been developed worldwide. These standards require the suppression of electromagnetic emissions from circuits and systems, and their increased immunity to externally induced interference.
Meeting the strict EMC standards, as well as ensuring the satisfactory performance of the equipment in its intended electromagnetic environment requires the implementation of technical measures into the system’s design,, and often –operational procedures must be implemented into its use too.
Proper implementation of the necessary design measures in the early stages of the program design of electronic equipment is a cost-effective approach for the control of EMI in modern electrical and electronic apparatus. Such measures can and should be implemented from circuit to system.
Course Objectives
This three-day comprehensive Course provides the trainees with the necessary tools for identification, analysis and understanding of the electromagnetic phenomena in electrical and electronic equipment and systems.
In addition, the Course is intended to teach the engineering know-how and analytical methods for enabling the engineer to design the product in order to achieve the necessary EMC compliance.
The Course will emphasize the basic principles and practical applications, with mathematical derivations and calculations kept to the minimum necessary.
The Course will cover most topics related to the discipline of EMC, which the design engineer may encounter along his daily work. This includes analysis of emission and susceptibility modes, cable and shielding design, grounding and bonding, enclosure shield design and maintaining shield integrity, filtering and transient protection and EMC design of printed circuit boards.
Practical solutions to practical problems, as well as “real life case histories” are used as examples and case histories are used extensively throughout the course.
Bring your interference problems and return with practical and useful solutions.
Target Trainees
The Course is intended for electrical, electronic and computer and process control engineers and technicians, who are involved in the design and development, qualification or engineering management of electronic and electrical equipment and systems, from the printed circuit board level to entire systems and platforms, e.g., aircraft, computer systems, etc.
Participants in the Course will
_ obtain a systematic approach to system and equipment EMC design
_ acquire a fundamental knowledge of the problem and interference sources in electrical and electronic systems
_ familiarize themselves with the characteristics of the electromagnetic environment, typical of different locations and conditions
_ acquire the proper design considerations and know-how for the design of electrical and electronic equipment for EMC compliance
_ learn and obtain a systematic approach for the proper design of equipment while implementing EMI control measures
