Title: 10 BASIC STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL EMC DESIGNPART 2: STEPS 6 TO 10

( )Author s : Violette, MichaelSource: EE: Evaluation Engineering v 37 n 1 Jan 1998. 6ppISSN: 0149-0370 CODEN: EVENAEPublication Year: 1998Abstract: Designers can improve the EMC performance oftheir products by observing relatively uncomplicated designguidelines. This article is the continuation of a paper pub-lished in 1997 that covered the first five steps for successfulEMC designs. The present report covers the remaining fivewhich includes filtering, filter installation, sealing the enclo-sure, analog circuits, and switched-mode power supplies.

Ž .electromagnetic compatibility EMC principles in the designof electronic circuits is well known by practicing engineers,there is a shortage of courses in this area. ‘Designing forEMC’ has been offered annually since 1991 at North Dakota

Ž .State University NDSU . ‘Optical signal transmission’ wasalso offered since 1981 and was taught with electromagneticsand optics. The EMC and fiber optics courses have an imme-diate goal of serving the needs of BSEE students to use forsenior design projects and ultimately use for the challengingindustry. In English 2 Refs.

Title: USE OF A DATABASE IN EVALUATING THE UKELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT

( )Author s : Elton, L.D.; Squire, R.S.Source: Proceedings of the 1997 10th International Confer-ence on Electromagnetic Compatibility Sep 1-3 1997 n 445Warwick, UK. IEE Stevenage Engl. p 1-5 ISSN: 0537-9989CODEN: IECPB4Publication Year: 1997Abstract: Electromagnetic compatibility problems in an envi-ronment where an aircraft on operation causes hazards gener-ated by radio transmitting sources. Two approaches are usedto minimize these hazards. The first is to avoid flying in areaswhere the field generated by a transmitter is higher than theaircraft systems can tolerate. The other is to build an aircraftwith electronic systems resistant to the electromagnetic fieldstrengths that will be encountered in operation. A databasederived from clearance data is maintained in the UK and usedas basis for the High Intensity Radio Transmission AreaŽ .HIRTA scheme used by military aircraft. Civil aircrafts use

Ž .the High Intensity Radiated Fields HIRF estimates frominternationally agreed scenarios. In English 2 Refs.
