Emi Filter Design

For all the fancy software running most everything these days, say veteran electrical and electronic engineers Ozenbaugh and Pullen, large, strangely shaped actual physical components are still required to keep noise from passing either way between public power sources and electronic devices. They explain how to design electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters to fellow engineers. Among their topics are EMI filter source impedance of various power lines, pros and cons of typical EMI filters, electromagnetic pulse and voltage transients, what will compromise the filter, filter design techniques and design examples. The second edition was published in 2000. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Richard Lee Ozenbaugh is a consultant of EMI filter design and magnetics engineering for such companies as Hughes Aircraft Corporation, Parker Hannifin Aerospace, Franklin Electric, McDonnell Douglas, and Cirrus Logic. Involved in the electrical and electronics industries since the early 1950s, he has worked as a radar specialist for the U.S. Navy as well as an engineer for Hopkins Engineering and RFI Corporation.

Timothy M. Pullen is a principal electrical engineer at Rockwell Collins. He has over 25 years of experience in the research, design, and development of electronic systems for commercial and military applications, including power electronics, motor control, and full authority digital engine control technology.
