1. The need and purpose of CEM

1.1 Electromagnetic disturbances and interferences

The electromagnetic environment has become one of the parameters to be taken into account in any industrial project involving signal or power electronics, in the same way as thermal management or mechanical stress management.

This has to be taken into account at the design stage, taking into account the final integration of the product in a system. The factors taken into consideration – EM radiation, conduction and immunity – need to be understood very precisely: to this end, the contribution of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) CAD software tools has become virtually indispensable. Electrical and/or electronic devices don't usually work isolated from each other’s....
