Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility

1 day.

Unclassified

Location: AFCEA Headquarters

Due in part to the "Wireless Revolution," electromagnetic interference is increasingly becoming a widespread concern. As more devices produce intentional and unintentional radio signals, they increasingly interfere with each other. These devices will not work together by accident. They must be designed and built that way. Hence the need for the engineering field known as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC.) Originally limited to the shipboard, aerospace, and missile fields, Electromagnetic Compatibility concerns can now be found in offices, communications centers, hospitals, and wherever communications or electronic systems are in use. Anyone involved in military communications or electronics needs to know the basic terms and concepts. Electromagnetic Compatibility is no longer limited to "rocket science."

OBJECTIVE
This course covers the basic concepts and terminology of Electromagnetic Compatibility, along with an overview of current military and civilian practices. It provides practical advice on ways to acheive Electromagnetic Compatibility without technical or administrative "overkill." Students will gain an unusually broad overview of commercial and military EMC practices. They will possess the knowledge necessary to make rational and intelligent decisions regarding the management, design, contracting, testing and troubleshooting of electromagnetically compatible systems.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is technical in nature, but no extensive engineering education or experience is required. Anyone in government or industry whose responsibilities involve the acquisition or management of computers, communications, or electronic devices can benefit. Current Military and Civilian EMC experts can also benefit from the unusually broad range of topics covered in this course.
