Electromagnetic Compatibility
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical
equipment and systems to function acceptably in
their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional
generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic
energy which may cause unwanted effects such
as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage
to operational equipment.[1][2] The goal of EMC is the correct
operation of different equipment in a common electromagnetic
environment. It is also the name given to the associated branch
of electrical engineering.
EMC pursues three main classes of issue. Emission is the generation of
electromagnetic energy, whether deliberate or accidental, by some source
and its release into the environment. EMC studies the unwanted emissions
and the countermeasures which may be taken in order to reduce
unwanted emissions. The second class, susceptibility, is the tendency of
electrical equipment, referred to as the victim, to malfunction or break
down in the presence of unwanted emissions, which are known as Radio
frequency interference (RFI).
Immunity is the opposite of susceptibility, being the ability of equipment
to function correctly in the presence of RFI, with the discipline of
"hardening" equipment being known equally as susceptibility or immunity.
A third class studied is coupling, which is the mechanism by which emitted
interference reaches the victim.
• Interference mitigation and hence electromagnetic compatibility may
be achieved by addressing any or all of these issues, i.e., quieting the
sources of interference, inhibiting coupling paths and/or hardening the
potential victims. In practice, many of the engineering techniques used,
such as grounding and shielding, apply to all three issues.
