Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering reflects the most recent developments in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), noise reduction and their practical applications to the design of analog and digital circuits in computer, home entertainment, medical, telecom, industrial process control, automotive equipment, and military and aerospace systems. The concepts covered are applicable to analog and digital circuits operating from below audio frequencies to those in the GHz range, with an emphasis is placed on cost-effective EMC designs.

This comprehensive book equips readers with the knowledge needed to design electronic equipment that is compatible with the electromagnetic environment and compliant with national and international EMC regulations. It is an essential resource for practicing engineers who face EMC and regulatory compliance issues and an ideal textbook for EE courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

Includes:

• Cabling, grounding, filtering and shielding
  
• Digital circuit grounding and layout
  
• Equipment/systems grounding
  
• Switching power supplies and variable-speed motor drives
  
• Digital circuit power distribution and decoupling
  
• PCB layout and stack-up
  
• Mixed-signal PCB layout
  
• RF and transient immunity
  
• Power line disturbances
  
• Pre-compliance EMC measurements
  
• Appendices on dipole antennae, the theory of partial inductance, and the ten most common EMC problems
