Design, Filtering and Shielding for EMC 1
This course and its companion course Design, Filtering and Shielding for EMC 2 form a four day advanced course that covers aspects of electronic hardware design, at the circuit design, circuit layout and mechanical levels, necessary to achieve EMC and Signal Integrity. This course covers circuit aspects and the second covers shielding and mechanical aspects.
Key subjects covered
- Design of circuits and systems to reduce generation of and susceptibility to EMI
- Design of systems to comply with the EMC Directive
- Components at high frequency including filters, suppressors, and isolation components
- Circuit effects (generation and susceptibility to EMI) in analogue, digital and power switching circuits
- Radiation and coupling mechanisms
- Physical layout including PCB layout for high speed digital circuits and analogue systems, effects of grounding, and wiring harnesses
- Cable and enclosure screening including apertures and imperfections
- System design
- CAD for EMC an overview of what computational tools can and can’t do for designers
Course scope
This course demonstrates how electronic systems behave from the point of view of the EMC Engineer; building from the behaviour of simple components, through circuit and system design. By understanding the implications of Electromagnetic Compatibility and signal integrity on circuit and system design, with a few simple calculations and application of design rules, many EMC problems can be avoided before the system goes to test.
Who should attend
Engineers needing to update their hardware design skills to cope with the challenges of modern high speed electronic design. A basic knowledge of EMC standards and measurements is required.
