Testing for EMC Compliance: Approaches and Techniques

A unique regulatory testing and troubleshooting guide for engineers and technicians
In today’s growing high–technology environment, engineering product designers are regularly faced with the problem of electromagnetic interference that can affect optimal product performance and prevent compliance with today’s stringent regulatory EMC standards. Testing for EMC Compliance: Approaches and Techniques offers a simple and efficient troubleshooting guide designed to demystify what can often be a time–consuming and costly debugging process.
Mark Montrose and Edward Nakauchi offer easy and inexpensive methods to resolve EMC problems and help generate ideas for developing diagnostic tools and measurement procedures required to resolve any compliance issue. Their clear writing style makes this serious and daunting reference material uniquely accessible and enjoyable to read.
For anyone whose work must conform to regulatory standards, here’s an invaluable resource thatRequires only a basic knowledge of math, electronics, and EMC standardsFeatures simple and practical methodologies anyone can easily implementGives engineers the necessary tools and skills to design products quickly and efficientlyHelps technicians avoid costly trial and error techniquesIncludes a unique appendix on how to build probes in new and interesting waysIncludes a complete Testing Procedure Methodology appendix detailing the majority of EMC tests performed on today’s products
Innovative, highly readable, and filled with tricks of the trade that can save today’s high–technology product designers valuable time and money, Testing for EMC Compliance: Approaches and Techniques is an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with achieving optimum signal integrity.

Nota biograficzna:
MARK I. MONTROSE is an expert in the fields of regulatory compliance, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and product safety. He has performed extensive research in the areas of EMC theory and signal integrity, and has written numerous papers on the subjects. Mr. Montrose is also a Senior Member of the IEEE and a member of the Board of Directors of both the IEEE EMC and Product Safety Engineering Society, as well as an active participant in local, national, and international activities of both Societies. He has published two prior books related to EMC and printed circuit boards.
EDWARD M. NAKAUCHI has over thirty years of experience in analog, power, and digital design and has spent the majority of the past twenty years working in the EMI/EMC/EMP and ESD areas for military aerospace companies as well as commercial audio, computer, and medical organizations. He has written numerous technical papers and magazine articles, and presented seminars on various EMI/EMP/ESD topics. He has also taught courses on EMI/EMC through the University of California Irvine Extension program. He is a NARTE certified EMC/ESD engineer and an IEEE Senior Member.
