About the Training Course

This five day Advanced EMC Design training course aims to equip designers to understand the issues and solutions in circuit and system design.

All electronic equipment must operate in the presence of sources of interference such as radio transmitters, electrostatic discharge etc. and so must be immune to reasonable levels of interference. With an increase in wireless communications (e.g. mobile phones, wireless networking) there is an increasing likelihood of interference to the communications systems from other electronic equipment and a greater number of transmitters operating near potentially sensitive electronic equipment. It is therefore vital that equipment designers understand the electromagnetic behaviour of electronic systems and are able to design electromagnetic compatibility in to products. This has been shown to be much more cost effective than fixing problems with a finished product.
