In this short lecture, I explain the fundamentals of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the basic coupling model and coupling paths via cables, electric fields, magnetic fields and wave fields. We also look at electric vehicles as an example of systems with many conducted EMC problems due to power electronic devices such as rectifiers and inverters with non-linear components such as diodes and fast switching components such as MOSFETs or IGBTs. After a brief review of circuit analysis fundamentals and an experimental investigation of the frequency-dependent impedance of resistors, capacitors and inductors, we look at a simple low-pass filter. The transfer function is derived and measured.

Electromagnetic compatibility . . .
. . . is the ability of electrical equipment and
systems to function acceptably in their
electromagnetic environment, by limiting the
unintentional generation, propagation and
reception of electromagnetic energy which
may cause unwanted effects such as
electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even
physical damage in operational equipment.
