  • Applied Electromagnetic Theory Made Simple Printed Circuit Board and System Design (Without Math)

    Electromagnetic theory is complex with unbearable math. Maxwell’s equations have only a causal, if any, relationship to real-world designs. Electrical engineering involves transmission line theory in the time domain. EMC engineers generally focus only on frequency domain aspects of signal propagation. Any digital transition in the time domain creates a spectral distribution of RF energy. This means oscilloscopes solves EMI problems, not spectrum analyzers. What every engineer needs to know is what does Maxwell tells us visually, and how to apply complex theory to real-world designs regardless of application or environment of use. This tutorial includes introductory level implementation for successful design of printed circuit boards and their integration into an enclosure to meet any EMC requirement, both emissions and immunity. The target audience is everyone, regardless of expertise who would like to [re]learn electromagnetic theory and application in a unique and non-academic manner “without the math”.
