Good EMC = Thinking About EMC It is essential to understand the basics of electromagnetism before applying good practice techniques from the EMC cookbook. The uninformed use of supposed 'good EMC practice' rarely has the desired effect and often makes things worst. An in-depth mathematical knowledge of Maxwell, divs and curls is not necessary. A basic understanding of field theory, transmission line theory and O-level physics plus a good deal of common sense is what is really required.
This test introduces just 3 guiding principles for electronics product design that can be used to select and correctly apply good practice techniques. There are of course more than 3 principals to good EMC practice and knowledge of some of them will help you get a good score. Most of the questions can be answered with little more than common sense and some though. These two being the most important and most often lacking qualities in good EMC design practice.
The examples in the test are unashamedly Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design orientated. EMC for system integrators is not a subject I cover on my website. If however you are interested in this topic I can highly recommend Keith Armstrong's courses.
