It provides lively discussion and hardware demonstrations of key EMC concepts and functional noise issues such as inductance, signal spectra, common mode current, fundamental antenna operation, grounding, shielding, and near field coupling. Through this course, design and test professionals learn to recognize, solve, and avoid common EMI problems. EMC fundamentals are discussed clearly and precisely from a foundation of physics, rather than outdated rules of thumb and widely held false assumptions about the RF properties of electronic systems, PC boards, and components. Numerous demonstrations are included to illustrate the concepts presented. The seminar does not waste your time spending hours on constantly changing bureaucratic test documents and test methods, or providing simplistic troubleshooting tables.
Enrollment is limited and advance enrollment is required.
