Foundations Of Electromagnetic Compatibility With Practical Applications

There is currently no single book that covers the mathematics, circuits, and electromagnetics backgrounds needed for the study of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This book aims to redress the balance by focusing on EMC and providing the background in all three disciplines. This background is necessary for many EMC practitioners who have been out of study for some time and who are attempting to follow and confidently utilize more advanced EMC texts. The book is split into three parts: Part 1 is the refresher course in advanced mathematics; Part 2 is the foundational chapters in understanding schematics, and printed circuit board layout fundamentals; Part 3 is the heart of the book: electric and magnetic fields and how they interact with antennas, transmission lines, and free space. Each part of the book provides an independent area of study, yet each is the logical step to the next area, providing a comprehensive course through each topic. Tutorials at the end of each chapter, and selected case studies, provide a rich learning experience for those new to the topic, and for those requiring a refresher course.
