This learning track covers a comprehensive understanding of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and its principles, applications, and standards. It starts with the fundamental concepts of EMC and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), explaining how electronic systems can function without causing or experiencing electromagnetic interference. The track then delves into the principles of electromagnetics, focusing on Maxwell’s equations, Faraday’s law, Ampere’s law, Gauss’s law, and the concept of electromagnetic fields. It further explores the high-frequency behavior of various electrical components such as conductors, capacitors, inductors, resistors, mechanical switches, and transformers. The track also covers the comprehensive understanding of nonlinear distortions and the linearization techniques used to counteract these effects. It concludes with a detailed explanation of system topology, control of interfaces, and the concept of waveguides beyond cut-off. The track also discusses the principles of lightning protection for buildings and the components involved in such systems. Lastly, it focuses on the protection of communication towers and wind turbines, discussing the potential damage caused by lightning and strategies to mitigate these risks.
