An electronic system that is able to function compatibly with other electronic systems and not produce or be susceptible to interference is said to be electromagnetic compatible with its environment. The objective of this course is to recognize and understand Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problems and to design electronic systems for EMC. Example of non-EMC are the mobile telephone (GSM) disturbing a pacemaker or electronic equipment in a plane, or the broadcast station disturbing the motor management system of a car.
The following subjects are part of the course: transmissionlines, radiation and coupling, parasitic elements of components, crosstalk, filters, shielding.
