Electromagnetic Compatibility (Lingua Franca Language)

The issue of electromagnetic compatibility has become increasingly important due to the widespread use of electronics in functions requiring very high degrees of reliability. Examples range from aircraft and spacecraft to the braking systems of modern cars. These electronic systems must withstand potential damage inflicted by both natural disturbances (such as lightning) and man-made disturbances (such as nuclear electromagnetic pulses, radar, and industrial power converters). This book describes interference sources and associated radiated fields and considers modes of coupling between the disturbance and the system in question on qualitative and quantitative levels. The book also outlines simulation and test procedures necessary to develop protective techniques. Electromagnetic Compatibility is an informative and practical book which describes the basics of electromagnetic compatibility. It will be valuable to practicing electrical and electronic engineers, and is also appropriate for use in introductory academic courses.
