Comprehensive electromagnetic compatibility fundamentals PLUS advanced circuit board design deep-dive
Most engineers and technicians designing electronic systems have not had any formal training concerning electromagnetic compatibility principles. Learning how to solve routing, grounding, filtering, and shielding problems by trial and error can be very expensive for the employer and frustrating for the designer. For industry standards and best practices, engineers should consult established EMC guidelines and regulatory requirements.
Core Foundation (15 hours): "Grounding and Shielding of Electronic Systems" - covers all fundamental EMC principles including basic PCB layout techniques
Advanced Specialization (5 hours): "Circuit Board Layout to Reduce Electromagnetic Emission and Susceptibility" - deep-dive into advanced PCB design for EMC compliance
Most of the electromagnetic and circuit principles involved are very simple. However, the complexity of many systems masks the logic and simplicity of possible solutions. This comprehensive EMC training program provides both the fundamental grounding in electromagnetic compatibility principles AND advanced PCB specialization - everything you need for complete EMC mastery. Learn more about FCC EMC compliance requirements.

EMC Course Coverage: This electromagnetic compatibility training presents an organized introduction to fundamental grounding and shielding principles, clarifies troublesome EMC terminology, and demonstrates many techniques for identifying and fixing electrical noise problems. The EMC principles are described as concepts rather than theoretical equations, making the course useful for engineers with a wide range of experience levels.
This advanced PCB module expands significantly on the circuit board layout topics covered in Hours 14-15 of the main EMC course, providing in-depth coverage for engineers who need advanced circuit board design expertise for electromagnetic compatibility.
Advanced PCB Coverage: Circuit board layout issues spanning DC to several GHz for EMC compliance. Mixed analog and digital designs, multilayer boards are emphasized. Most concepts are applicable to one- and two-sided board designs. Several key PCB EMC concepts illustrated with demonstrations.
Includes: APPENDIX 1 - A Review of Background Material, APPENDIX 2 - A Summary of EMC Guidelines for Circuit Board Layout
Advanced Topic: HF Current Path Analysis in PCB Design
Hands-on demonstrations with professional EMC test equipment
