Knowledge Is Key to Accurate EMF Measurements

摘要

The plethora of electromagnetic sources permeating our environment is making EMC measurement an increasingly important application for the test and measurement industry. Unfortunately, effective and accurate electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements can be difficult to make. Test vendors offer a variety of capable instruments and related equipment that can help with EMI troubleshooting, EMC precompliance and compliance test, and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) measurements; they also offer software that helps automate immunity and emissions testing and documentation.' Nevertheless, rapid success in your EMC measurement projects can depend on theoretical knowledge beyond what's embedded in your instruments and EMC measurement software. Fortunately, 2014 is seeing the debut of one new book and one soon-to-be revised book; the latter will be used in an upcoming seminar on EMC measurement that provides theoretical and practical training.
