Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has becon Jem for circuit designers, and it is likely to become mo future. The large number of electronic devices in comm responsible for this trend, In addition the use of integr large-scale integration has reduced the size of electroni circuitry has become smaller and more sophisticated, more crowded into less space, thus increasing the probability of Today's equipment designers need to do more than systems operate under ideal conditions in the laborato obvious task, they must also make sure the equipment wil the “real world,” with other equipment nearby. This equipment should not be affected by external noise source! itself be a source of noise to the environment. Eleciromagn (EMC) should be a major design objective In Fig. 1-1 the block diagram of a radio receiver is used depict the various types of interference that ean occur in wiring between the various stages conducts noise, and so noise. In addition ground currents trom the various stage commen ground impedence and produce a noise voltage 01 Flectric and magnetic field coupling between signals in var also shown. ‘These noise problems are exampies of intraeq ence that must be solved before the radio will operate i When the radio is installed in the “real world” it bec additional external noise sources, such as shown in Fig, are conducted into the receiver on the ac power line, and | 48 exposed to electromagnetic radiation from various sou the noise sources are not under the designer's control.

If a noise voltage causes ration Of a circuit, it is interference. Noise cannot be el ‘reduced in magnitude, until it no longer causes interference. 3 FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY ic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electronic system ' properly in its intended electromagnetic environment, and DESIGNING FOR ELECTRONAGNETIC COMPATABILITY (2) not be a source of pollution to that environment, The environment is composed of both radiated and conducte therefore has two aspects, emission and susceptibility Susceptibility is the capability of a device or circui unwanted electrical energy (i.e.. noise). The susceptibility or device is the noise environment in which the equipm satisfactorily, without degradation, and with a defined marg opposite of susceptibility is immunity. One difficulty in dete ty (or susceptibility) levels is defining what constitutes pet dation Emission pertains to the interterence-causing potential purpose of controlling emissions is to limit the electro emitted, and thereby contro] the electromagnetic enviro other products must operate. Controlling the emission fr may eliminate an interference problem for many other pro it is desirable to control emission in an attempt top tromagnetically compatible environment. ‘To some extent susceptibility is self-regulating. If a prod to the environment, the customer will become aware of continue to purchase it. Emission, on the other hand, self-regulating. A product that is the source of emission ma by that emission. As a result various regulatory bodie standards to control emissions from certain classes of prod EMC design can be approached in either of 6vo ways: ‘approach, and the other is the systems approach. In the cr designer proceeds with a total disregard of EMC until the ¢ and testing or—worse yet—field experience suggests that Solutions, implemented at this late stage, are usually expe of undesirable “add-ons.” This is often referred 10 as approach. AS equipment development progresses from design tc Production, the varicty of noise mitigation techniques designer decreases steadily. Concurrently, cost goes up. 7 shown in Fig, I-4, Early solutions to interference problem usually best and least expensive. ‘The systems approach considers EMC throughout the signer anticipates EMC problems at the beginning of the p remaining problems in the breadboard and early prototype the final prototypes for EMC as thoroughly as. possible becomes an integral part of both the electrical and mechani Product. As a result EMC is designed into—an Product, and this is a more cost-effective approach, If noise suppression is considered for one stage o sub: when the equipment is being designed, the noise mitigatio simple and straightforward.
