INTRODUCTION
National Institute of Science & Technology

• EMI-
It consists of any unwanted
conducted or radiated signals of electric origin
that can cause degradation in system or
equipment performance.
• EMC-
It is the ability of the system to function as
designed without any degradation in
performance due to EMI with in the operational
environment

Classification of EMI
National Institute of Science & Technology

• INTRASYSTEM EMI-
EMI problems with in the system one is
dealing with.
• INTERSYSTEM EMI-
EMI problems, that occur between two or
more systems.

Reduction of EMI

• Both Filtering & Shielding techniques are

used to reduce electromagnetic
disturbances.
• To reduce noise due to EMI at sources by
EMC oscillators.

Electromagnetic compatibility
National Institute of Science & Technology

(EMC)
• First, EMC implies that the equipment will not
generate unacceptable interference emission
levels which could cause interference .
• Second, EMC implies that the equipment can
tolerate ambient levels of interference
without degradation of performance

Testing
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Compliance tests-
Performed at the end of design.
• Engineering tests-
Deals with potential problems in the
designing process .
• Audit tests-
It is associated with manufacturing & quality

Conclusion
National Institute of Science & Technology

• EMI is a major problem in the development of

systems.
• EMC must be taken in to consideration during
the design stage.
• Environmental reliability testing is used to
eliminate potential problems
• There are many EMC standards used in the
regulation of products that may cause EMI.
