This handbook outlines the factors that must be considered in designing circuits, equipment, and systems for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It teaches circuit and system designers how to thwart the ever present culprit of electromagnetic interference (EMI). By emphasizing the fundamentals, it provides information that will help readers understand the rationale that forms the basis for many of the EMC practices and procedures. There is much information about these topics available in disparate forms (journal articles, symposia proceedings, etc.) but this book brings the critical knowledge into a single source for battling EMI.

The goal of all device and system designs that must function in an electromagnetic environment (i.e. radio, TV, radar, navigation, and communications) is to operate without adversely affecting other electronic equipment or systems. The inverse is also true. The requirement for sharing spectrum has reached international levels of concern and it must be dealt with in proportion to the safety and economic impact involved. Designing Electronic Systems for EMC outlines how.

REVIEW
"In the last years there is much written material on EMI that is generally available in trade journals, symposium records and other scientific sources. In general, this material provides a collection of subjects, concepts and topics which is difficult to correlate. The primary purpose of this book is to provide readers with a tutorial overview of the major factors that must be considered in designing circuits, equipment, and systems for EMC. It emphasizes fundamentals and provides information that will help the reader understand the rationale that forms the basis for many of the EMC practices and procedures. In my opinion, Designing Electronic Systems for EMC is an essential reading for electronic designers who want to avoid component failures, no trouble found incidents, and random errors."
