Features: About the 1st Edition of this book: (This book) is not only suitable for engineers in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and related industries, but also for students in the electrical machinery engineering field who are interested in EMC. (The application software listed in this book) is very useful for both professionals and students. – Excerpted from the magazine "Comprehensive Technology" About the 2nd Edition of this book: This edition has been completely revised, and the references listed have been significantly supplemented. This edition provides a comprehensive discussion covering EMC design, problem-solving, and EMC performance indicators in electrical equipment/systems. This includes fundamental theories, applications, evaluation, prediction techniques, and various economical and practical diagnostic options for avoiding electromagnetic interference. This edition also includes updated and verified EMC diagnostic measurement data, as well as more than 900 figures and 500 formulas that greatly exceed the first edition. It also discusses the latest verification/qualification test procedures. Additionally, it addresses the inaccuracy in current EMC testing and prediction methods. A new chapter on "Good PCB Layout Techniques" has been added to this edition, and it also describes the basic methods of computational electromagnetic modeling and other related new technologies. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an interdisciplinary field that integrates theoretical and practical knowledge from many disciplines. The highlight of this book is its focus on the practical applications and design of EMC technology, while also providing an appropriate explanation of the fundamental principles. Given that the authors are renowned EMC consultants from the United States and Canada with extensive practical experience, the book is primarily centered on engineering practice, using a wealth of valuable experimental data, charts, curves, case studies, and practical technical details to illustrate the principles and applications of EMC technology. It provides detailed descriptions of specific test methods for various EMC standards and ensures the accuracy of measurements. It also comprehensively introduces the procedures required for electrical and electronic products to comply with EMC directives and FCC regulations in Europe and the United States, making it highly practical. The main contents of this book include the basic concepts and principles of EMC, the mechanisms and models of various electromagnetic interference, methods to reduce interference and improve immunity, the biological effects of electromagnetic fields, system EMC and antenna coupling analysis, EMC prediction and computational electromagnetic modeling methods, as well as the control requirements and test methods of various civil and military EMC standards. The explanations throughout the book are presented from an engineering application perspective, with clear discussions, rich and detailed content, and practical illustrations, making it an excellent reference book. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in the research and development, design, manufacturing, quality management, testing, and maintenance of electrical and electronic products. It can also serve as a reference for technical personnel in research institutions, testing agencies, and large-scale engineering projects for EMC analysis, testing, and practical applications. Additionally, it can be used as a teaching reference for students and faculty in electrical and electronic engineering, information and computer technology, biomedical engineering, automatic control and mechatronics, and instrumentation and testing technology.
