Description
Summary:Many engineers are interested in avoiding EMC problems because of their difficulty to troubleshoot. Having a better understanding of the threat environment and EMI requirements for instrumentation is one of the best ways to avoid troubleshooting in the EMI lab. While the actual testing can be tedious, EMI testing is a field with many-intriguing instrumentation challenges. There is great opportunity for innovation in these systems, especially in automating the tests. This article describes the author's first industrial experience with electromagnetic compatibility testing and certification for avionics
