Description:
This
hands-on trouble-shooting style book offers step-by-step
‘recipes’ to assist those who are trying to solve EMI
problems, by detailing exactly what to do and how to do
it. EMI
Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers
identifies
why products fail to meet EMI/EMC regulatory standards and
outlines techniques for tracking the noise source, and
discovering the coupling mechanism, that is causing the
undesired effects. Using methods that require only a basic
understanding of electromagnetic theory and a minimal
background in EMI/EMC, this book offers a range of simple,
easily- implemented examples of inexpensive troubleshooting
tools that can be built by the engineer or
technician.
