Get introduced to EMC

If you need a quick introduction to EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), you can find it in a Powerpoint presentation from Wim Vogel of Dutch company Modern Applied Technology Engineering (MATE). Vogel’s presentation starts with some theory, then explains electric and magnetic fields and coupling paths between conducting traces and planes. He then covers field strength and why electronic devices can interfere with each other. Vogel then covers some practical example of how to detect and mitigate interference problems. For example, he shows you how to use “sniffer” probes and how to add compoents and additional ground connections that can reduce emissions or improve immunity.
