Electromagnetic Compatibility in Medical Equipment: A Guide for Designers and Installers / Edition 1

by William D. Kimmel, Daryl Gerke

Overview

Co-published with the IEEE Press, this book is a practical, hands-on guide to EMC issues for medical device designers and installers. It addresses electromagnetic interference and covers the basics of EMC design, physics, and installation, minimizing theory and concentrating upon the correct way to ground and shield. Covering EMC from the inside out, the book provides the basics of electronics, discusses and evaluates problems and common causes, and explores effective remedial techniques at three levels: circuit, box, and interconnect. It contains appendices that provide important reference material such as constants and conversion factors.

Editorial Reviews

A practical guide to EMC issues for medical device designers and installers, co-published by Interpharm Press and IEEE Press (the IEEE ISBN is 0-7803-1160-4). It addresses electromagnetic interference, and covers the basics of EMC design, physics, and installation, minimizing theory and concentrating on the correct way to ground and shield. The 12 chapters are followed by a glossary and appendices of references for EMC publications, properties of common materials, and constant and conversion factors. The materials are an outgrowth of a series of articles written for Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
