Opis

The Keep It Simple (KISS) philosophy is the primary focus of this book. It is written in very simple language with minimal math, as a compilation of helpful EMI troubleshooting hints. Its light-hearted tone is at odds with the extreme seriousness of most engineering reference works that become boring after a few pages. This text tells engineers what to do and how to do it. Only a basic knowledge of math, electronics, and a basic understanding of EMI/EMC are necessary to understand the concepts and circuits described. Once EMC troubleshooting is demystified, readers learn there are quick and simple techniques to solve complicated problems a key aspect of this book. Simple and inexpensive methods to resolve EMI issues are discussed to help generate unique ideas and methods for developing additional diagnostic tools and measurement procedures. An appendix on how to build probes is included. It can be a fun activity, even humorous at times with bizarre techniques (i.e., the sticky finger probe).

A unique regulatory testing and troubleshooting guide for engineers and technicians

In today s growing high–technology environment, engineering product designers are regularly faced with the problem of electromagnetic interference that can affect optimal product performance and prevent compliance with today s stringent regulatory EMC standards. Testing for EMC Compliance: Approaches and Techniques offers a simple and efficient troubleshooting guide designed to demystify what can often be a time–consuming and costly debugging process.

Mark Montrose and Edward Nakauchi offer easy and inexpensive methods to resolve EMC problems and help generate ideas for developing diagnostic tools and measurement procedures required to resolve any compliance issue. Their clear writing style makes this serious and daunting reference material uniquely accessible and enjoyable to read.

For anyone whose work must conform to regulatory standards, here s an invaluable resource that

• Requires only a basic knowledge of math, electronics, and EMC standards
• Features simple and practical methodologies anyone can easily implement
• Gives engineers the necessary tools and skills to design products quickly and efficiently
• Helps technicians avoid costly trial and error techniques
• Includes a unique appendix on how to build probes in new and interesting ways
• Includes a complete Testing Procedure Methodology appendix detailing the majority of EMC tests performed on today s products

Innovative, highly readable, and filled with tricks of the trade that can save today s high–technology product designers valuable time and money, Testing for EMC Compliance: Approaches and Techniques is an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with achieving optimum signal integrity.
