COURSE OVERVIEW

Systems EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) involves the control of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) at the systems, facility, and platform levels (e.g., outside the box.) This two-day EMI/EMC in Systems and Facilities Training course provides a comprehensive treatment of EMI/EMC problems in electronic systems. These include industrial controls, semiconductor tools, medical systems, test systems, and more. The emphasis is on prevention through good EMI/EMC design techniques – grounding, shielding, cable management, and power interface design. Please note – this EMI/EMC in Systems and Facilities class does NOT address circuit board issues. Also, military designers may prefer our class on EMI/EMC in Military Systems. Each student will receive a copy of the EDN Magazine Designer’s Guide to EMC by Daryl Gerke and William Kimmel, along with a complete set of lecture notes.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this EMI/EMC in Systems and Facilities course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • How to identify, prevent, and fix common EMI/EMC problems in electronic systems
  • Simple models and “rules of thumb” and to help you arrive at quick design decisions (NO heavy math).
  • Design impact (by requirement) of various systems EMC specifications
  • Good EMI/EMC systems design practices
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this EMI/EMC in Systems & Facilities Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of this EMI/EMC in Systems & Facilities course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the EMI/EMC in Systems & Facilities course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policymaker), and present the EMI/EMC in Systems & Facilities course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
