Electromagnetic Compatibility.

Abstract

The increasing complexity and density of avionics systems has placed special demands upon those responsible for achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within host weapon platforms. Achievement of EMC means that equipment, subsystems, and the complete system perform in their operational electromagnetic environment at design levels of efficiency without causing or suffering unacceptable degradation due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The process of achieving EMC requires careful attention throughout the life cycle of the system. The NATO governments need greater visibility and control over the EMC process in order to field weapon systems whose performance will not be EMI limited. Recent advances in the EMC discipline now provide a technology base for achieving visibility and control of potentially serious EMC problems. It was proposed that the avionics panel sponsor a Lecture Series on EMC which would highlight proven methods for its attainment. The Lecture Series covered the following subjects: the EMC problem, system EMC analysis methods, actual case studies and test methods.
