Emc design fundamentals

Virtually every electronic device or system designed today is required to comply with EMC standards. Proper EMC design, throughout the development cycle, is necessary to cost-effectively ensure that products operate reliably in their intended electromagnetic environment without being susceptible to electrical noise from other devices, or generate excessive noise that can interfere with other devices. Meeting this goal has become especially challenging in recent years, due to the ever-growing use of electronics, increasing clock frequencies and escalading wireless-bandwidth demands. Products that do not comply with the applicable EMC requirements, can be blocked from markets, and/or can create interoperability issues with consequences ranging from a minor annoyance to death.
