Advanced EMC Measurements

This course is aimed at design, developement, installation and maintenance engineers undertaking EMC testing, with a view to extending their understanding of the complex issues involved.

Training Course Outline

This EMC training course is primarily aimed at engineers undertaking EMC testing with a view to extending their understanding of the complex issues involved. Whilst EMC measurements are generally performed by specialists in EMC test houses, the engineers whose equipment is tested will also benefit from this course by extending their understanding of the tests performed on their equipment.

Level: Advanced   Length: Three days

Key topics covered

• Lectures:
  • Fundamentals of the measurement process
  • Effects of non-linearities
  • Measurement uncertainties
  • Electromagnetic energy propagation and coupling mechanisms
  • The man-made and natural electromagnetic noise environment
  • Anechoic chambers and absorbing materials
  • Screened rooms and mode-stirred chambers
  • Open-area test sites and TEM Cells
  • Conducted EMI measurements
  • Electrostatic discharge measurements
• Practical work:
  • Radiated Emission measurements
  • Radiated Immunity measurements
  • Non-linear devices
  • Observation of the radio spectrum

Course scope

This in-depth training course illustrates a wide range of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements and introduces the techniques associated with performing electromagnetic compatibility measurements in a variety of test environments.

Who should attend

• Engineers making or specifying EMC measurements. Design engineers and others wishing to understand the EMC measurement process.
