ECE 614 – Electromagnetic Compatibility – 10132-8

Prof. Edward H. Newman Spring 2007

 

Summary: This course serves as an introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) including government regulations, radiated emissions and susceptibility, shielding, and cross-talk.  The information can be used to design an electronic device that is Electromagnetically Compatible: (1) it will not emit unwanted electromagnetic radiation that will interfere with other electronic devices, and (2) it will not be susceptible to electromagnetic emissions from other electronic devices.

Extra Credit – To be assigned

 

·Permitted Materials for Exams: Paul’s text + UniPrint class notes + one 8.5x11 in. sheet (both sides), but no homework solutions.  Bring calculator and straight edge.

·Homework Problems: are assigned on Wed. and due on Mon.  Must be done on a separate sheet of paper, since only one problem will be corrected and graded.  Homework solutions must be reasonable neat and legible, and contain a minimum description of the basic steps.  Students are permitted to work together or obtain any assistance on Homework problems, short of simply copying someone else's solution.

·Grading Questions: start with TA, and then see me if it can not be resolved.
