Foundations of Electromagnetic Compatibility - by Bogdan Adamczyk (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

There is currently no single book that covers the mathematics, circuits, and electromagnetics backgrounds needed for the study of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This book aims to redress the balance by focusing on EMC and providing the background in all three disciplines. This background is necessary for many EMC practitioners who have been out of study for some time and who are attempting to follow and confidently utilize more advanced EMC texts.

The book is split into three parts: Part 1 is the refresher course in the underlying mathematics; Part 2 is the foundational chapters in electrical circuit theory; Part 3 is the heart of the book: electric and magnetic fields, waves, transmission lines and antennas. Each part of the book provides an independent area of study, yet each is the logical step to the next area, providing a comprehensive course through each topic. Practical EMC applications at the end of each chapter illustrate the applicability of the chapter topics. The Appendix reviews the fundamentals of EMC testing and measurements.

There is currently no single book that covers the mathematics, circuits, and electromagnetics backgrounds needed for the study of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This book aims to redress the balance by focusing on EMC and providing a background in all three disciplines. This background is necessary for many EMC practitioners who have been out of study for some time and who are attempting to follow and confidently utilize more advanced EMC texts.

The book is split into three parts: Part I is a refresher course in the underlying mathematics; Part II provides the foundational concepts of electrical circuit theory; Part III is the heart of the book: electric and magnetic fields, waves, transmission lines, and antennas. Each part of the book provides an independent area of study, yet each is the logical step to the next area, providing a comprehensive course through each topic. Practical EMC applications at the end of each chapter illustrate the applicability of the chapter topics. The appendix reviews the fundamentals of EMC testing and measurements.

This book:

• is unique in packaging the three key topics of mathematics, circuits, and electromagnetics foundations into one comprehensive reference
• is supported by each chapter's practical EMC applications, which illustrate the applicability of the topics
• has an appendix reviewing the fundamentals of EMC testing and measurements
• refreshes the mathematical and circuits skills of the EMC engineer
• has useful support texts for those undertaking self-study or attempting to follow more advanced EMC texts.
