Introduction to EMI 1-Day Course

Course Description

This 1-day course offers information and instruction to help managerial and administrative personnel understand the demands of emission control (EMI/RFI/EMC) and susceptibility (ESD/RF interference etc). This course will cover basic EMI principles including magnetic and electric fields, typical decibel problems and solutions, electromagnetic waves, spread spectrum, network fundamentals, wireless local area networks (LANs), bonding, shielding, grounding, conducted and radiated interference, EMI testing techniques, and more.

Who Should Take the Course

Individuals who need a basic understanding of foreign, domestic, or military emissions and susceptibility requirements for electronic products, supervisors and technical personnel involved in regulatory compliance of digital and RF equipment, and junior EMI test engineers/technicians.

What the Student Will Learn

The student will learn basic EMI principles, common problems and solutions, testing techniques, suppression, design issues, EMI standards, reviewing EMI Test Reports, witnessing EMI testing, and reference materials.

Included Materials

Each attendee will receive:
  • Bound Course Outline/Notes
  • Copy of Military Standard 461
