EMC LIVE™
FUNDAMENTALS

Electromagnetic Interference is a form of pollution that can affect electronic equipment that is not protected from it. Think of it as Electromagnetic smog. EMI can cause effects ranging from annoying noises on your car radio to serious accidents when safety critical equipment is caused to malfunction.

Requirements for RFI/EMI shielding continue to grow, as many more electronic devices and systems are now entering the market making our world an ever more crowded electronic environment. For that reason, it is critical to make the correct choice of conductive EMI gasket to ensure good performance in both EMC and environmental fields. There are key considerations to address your unique EMC challenges and to ensure you are selecting the best product for your application.

In this webinar, our industry experts will share an introduction to EMI and EMC followed by some of the EMI Shielding growing challenges. Our experts will highlights some of the key design considerations around EMI shielding and finally offer solutions available to choose from.

This discussion will examine what to consider when selecting and working with chokes. We will review different core material, its frequency response and various parameters to keep in mind.  

With curiosity and an open mind this webinar revisits fundamental topics and challenges our basic assumptions about Electromagnetics and everyday EMC phenomenon. Starting with a ferrite bead choke – does it really block unwanted signals? For that matter, do we really understand Inductance and what physical attributes impact inductance? Bring your skills because there will be a quiz! The scope is then broadened to explore how power is transferred and from that understanding how the skin effect comes into play? What is the skin effect really? Having a strong understanding of the physical RF world and therefore interpreting EMC results rests on our assumptions. During this webinar simulation is used to illuminate the underlying physics of these topics.

In the manufacturing world, compliance testing is often thought at one of the last steps, and often too late, in the process to consider. The goal of this discussion is to make product compliance feel like it’s a “walk in the park”; from early product conception to sustaining engineering. We will discuss product compliance and the simple approach to each and every step.
