The field of EMC is a highly specialized niche within the field of electrical engineering. Anything that uses electrical power, either AC or DC, was designed by an engineer. When I ask how designers classify themselves they generally respond as being an…
Engineers are beginning to face new challenges related to the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and their integration into an enclosure, either metal or plastic. These challenges will increase in the future with higher speed components and systems. With the need to maximize functionality while at the same time shrinking the physical size of a product along with lower cost of development and production, we are discovering that signal integrity is becoming a greater concern than EMC. Although a system may radiate EMI in a broadband environment, will EMI be a concern in the future or should we enhance immunity protection against any and all electromagnetic threats that may occur?

During consulting assignments, I observe that engineers sometimes struggle to achieve compliance. This not only includes regulatory but functionality. The more senior one is at design engineering, there is the tendency to do things in a manner that is familiar…

During consulting assignments, I constantly see engineers struggle to achieve EMC compliance, either emissions or immunity. This not only includes regulatory approval and functionality but also managing an in-house system that may not have been designed to include EMC and safety approvals. They…
