ELEC 620 - Electromagnetic Compatibility

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: Graduate status or permission from instructor, and undergraduate courses in linear systems and electromagnetic fields.
Electromagnetic compatibility, within electronic devices and between nearby electronic devices, is studied. The degree to which a device conforms to legal limits on conducted and radiated emission is predicted. Electromagnetic interference is observed and measured using radio-frequency laboratory instruments. The primary objective is to learn a variety of techniques for circuit design, selection, layout, and packaging, to be practiced throughout the development of an electronic device, which will ultimately minimize emissions from that device and minimize its susceptibility to interference from other electronic devices.
