EMC in Interconnections
This module is designed to help designers understand that all wires, cables and other conductors are accidental antennas, so they always leak the signals they carry (emissions problems)
– either as electric (E) or magnetic (H) fields
They also pick up interference (immunity problems)
– either as electric (E) or magnetic (H) or electromagnetic (EM) fields
This is not what we want our conductors to do and this module will help to define strategies to reduce these effects.
Module is 96 slides over 48 pages

6) Shielding techniques for cables
7) Terminating cable shields
8) Interconnecting shielded enclosures

EMC Standards is a world-leading resource for all things EMC and EMI related. Our website is packed full of both free and paid-for content, including:
- Online quiz

- And much more!
Electromagnetic Engineering (EMgineering) is the basis for proven good design practices for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and the control of EMI emissions and immunity (EMC).
Our aim is to help people learn how to more quickly and cost-effectively design and manufacture electronic equipment (products, systems, installations, etc.) to meet functional (i.e. SI/PI) specifications and conform to EMC standards, directives and other requirements.
Such equipment should benefit from reduced warranty costs and financial risks, whilst improving uptime, competitiveness and profitability.
We also cover basic good electrical safety engineering; and the Risk Management of Electromagnetic Disturbances / EMI, whether for Functional Safety or other types of risk.
