A Two Day EMC Design Seminar by
Dr. Bruce Archambeault, IBM
(Electromagnetic Compatibility is NOT Magic!)
Proper EMC design for printed circuit boards (PCB) can make a significant difference in the final product's performance in the
EMC measurement laboratory. Implementing the proper EMC practices during the design phase of the product is critical and
can have little or no impact on the product cost when done correctly.
Unfortunately, EMC design is considered to be similar to magic. This seminar focuses on the basic causes of EMC problems,
and how to overcome these problems. This seminar is not just a list of "rules or thumb" but rather it helps the student understand
why EMC problems happen, and what can be done to eliminate them.
This seminar's primary focus is to help working engineers understand the causes of EMC problems so this knowledge can be
applied to real world product design immediately. Formulas and equations are not required and are minimized throughout the
seminar. Understanding the causes of EMC problems will allow engineers to make difficult design trade-off decisions!
Intended Audience
This course is intended for:
-- Working Board Design engineers and layout engineers who are interested in better understanding the causes of EMC
problems, and how to overcome these problems during the design phase without adding cost to the PCB.
-- Working EMI/EMC engineers who are interested in achieving a better understanding of the causes of EMC at the PCB level,
and how to control these signals.
-- Managers and engineers who are interested in obtaining a better understanding of EMI/EMC design issues so that they can
help make better trade-off decisions and provide proper emphasis to EMC design issues.
