Summary
Area of EMC is nowadays crucial part of all electronic branches. Subject gives the basic theoretic knowledge of area EMC, deals with methods for verification of EMC parameters in the field of construction of electronic equipments. Students get knowledge of methodology of measurement EMC parameters of technological equipments. Requirements for power sources, I/O circuits and control circuits in the electronic equipmnets are explained here. Students will be introduced to the area of standardization in EMC forcefully to area of electrotechnics. Part of this subject is focused on laboratory tasks of measurement and analyzing disturbing signals by using modern measuring technics. The knowledge tends to be added by excursions to the factories, research centers and design centers.
In the subject students are educated:
- basic terms of problematic of EMC
- methodology of measurement and analyzing of EMC parameters
- processes for limitation of max. level of disturbing signals
- EMC design of printed circuits
- area of standardization
The subject is designed mainly for students, who expect practical verifications of theoretical skills nad knowledge. They perform design and making of the selected electronic circuit and its measurement from viewpoint of EMC. Laboratories are wquipped by modern measurement technics with possibility of connection to PC. Student is classified by created Essay, Half-yearly work and concluding test. The claswork is limited for 10 students in one semester.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The goal is train up the participants in the modern viewpoint on problems of the electromagnetic compatibility, distortion of electric equipment and the relationship to standards.
Graduates can classify possibilities of elimination of distortion, can design and perform measurement EMI and its evaluation.

Graduates can classify possibilities of elimination of distortion, can design and perform measurement EMI and its evaluation.
