Overview

Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering is a completely revised, expanded, and updated version of Henry Ott's popular book Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems. It reflects the most recent developments in the field of electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) and noise reduction and their practical applications to the design of analog and digital circuits in computer, home entertainment, medical, telecom, industrial process control, and automotive equipment, as well as military and aerospace systems.

While maintaining and updating the core information-such as cabling, grounding, filtering, shielding, digital circuit grounding and layout, and ESD-that made the previous book such a wide success, this new book includes additional coverage of:

Equipment/systems grounding

Switching power supplies and variable-speed motor drives

Digital circuit Power distribution and decoupling

PCB layout and stack-up

Mixed-signal PCB layout

RF and transient immunity

Power line disturbances

Precompliance EMC measurements

New appendices on dipole antennae, the theory of partial inductance, and the ten most common EMC problems

The concepts presented are applicable to analog and digital circuits operating from below audio frequencies to those in the GHz range. Throughout the book, an emphasis is placed on cost-effective EMC designs, with the amount and complexity of mathematics kept to the strictest minimum.

Complemented with over 250 problems with answers, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering equips readers with the knowledge needed to design electronic equipment that is compatible with the electromagnetic environment and complaint with national and internationalEMC regulations. It is an essential resource for practicing engineers who face EMC and regulatory compliance issues and an ideal textbook for EE courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
