Written in an approachable, light-hearted tone, Testing for EMC Compliance is designed to help engineers and technicians who have had products fail regulatory EMI/EMC standards by identifying noise sources. This innovative book provides a wellspring of ideas and a step-by-step approach with helpful hints to track down problem areas or discover the mechanism that is creating and propagating undesired RF energy. Testing methods are provided to resolve problems as well as describing how to use EMI/EMC suppressing components. Finally, the book contains numerous "tricks of the trade" that make the trouble-shooting process more efficient.
The Keep It Simple (KISS) philosophy is the primary focus of this book. It is written in very simple language with minimal math, as a compilation of helpful EMI troubleshooting hints. Its light-hearted tone is at odds with the extreme seriousness of most engineering reference works that become boring after a few pages. This text tells engineers what to do and how to do it. Only a basic knowledge of math, electronics, and a basic understanding of EMI/EMC are necessary to understand the concepts and circuits described
Once EMC troubleshooting is demystified, readers learn there are quick and simple techniques to solve complicated problems a key aspect of this book. Simple and inexpensive methods to resolve EMI issues are discussed to help generate unique ideas and methods for developing additional diagnostic tools and measurement procedures. An appendix on how to build probes is included. It can be a fun activity, even humorous at times with bizarre techniques (i.e., the sticky finger probe)
