Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility

The fully revised new edition of the classic textbook, an essential resource for anyone working with digital devices

Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility provides thorough coverage of the techniques and methodologies used to design and analyze electronic systems that function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment. Assuming no prior familiarity with electromagnetic compatibility, this user-friendly textbook first explains fundamental EMC concepts and technologies before moving on to more advanced topics in EMC system design.

The extensively revised and expanded third edition reflects the most recent advances in the field as well as current U.S. and international regulatory requirements. An entirely new chapter on circuit and system grounding is complemented by updated chapters on computer modeling for EMC, circuit board and system-level EMC design, EMC test practices, EMC measurement procedures and equipment, and more.

• Features fully-worked examples, topic reviews, self-assessment questions, end-of-chapter exercises, and numerous high-quality images and illustrations
• Contains useful appendices of phasor analysis methods, electromagnetic field equations and waves, a PSpice® tutorial, and computer code for calculating the per-unit length parameters and crosstalk of multiconductor transmission lines
• Includes access to a companion website with SPICE examples, appendices, exercises, links to EMC resources, and supplementary information
• Provides updated discussion of computer modeling tools, spectrum analyzers, EMC design strategies, and power bus design

The ideal textbook for university courses on EMC, Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility, Third Edition is also an invaluable reference for practicing electrical engineers dealing with interference issues or those wanting to learn more about electromagnetic compatibility to become better product designers.
