About the Training Course

This five day advanced EMC training course introduces the theory and techniques of shielding materials, shielding measurements and the design of shielded enclosures in practice. This includes filtering, when needed for avoiding conducted EMC problems..

Shielded enclosures are widely used in electronic products to improve their EMC performance – they act as a barrier to electromagnetic energy, thus reducing radiated emissions and also improving susceptibility to electric and magnetic fields. A sound knowledge of the physical principles of shielding over a wide range of frequencies is needed to ensure well-designed and cost-effective shielded enclosures.
