Williams T. EMC for Product Designers

4th edition. — Elsevier - Newnes, 2007. — 512 p. — ISBN: 978-0750681704.Widely regarded as the standard text on Emc, tim Williams' book provides all the information necessary to meet the requirements of the Emc directive. Most importantly, it shows how to incorporate Emc design principles into products, avoiding cost and performance penalties, meeting the needs of specific standards and resulting in a better overall product.
This edition covers basic, generic and product-specific test standards, the latest standards on measurement methods and revisions to existing standards. Changes to the standards generating process are also covered. New measurement techniques are described. The chapter entitled Systems Emc explains requirements on systems design, layout of large systems, earthing, grounding and bonding practices, cable layout, routing and termination, and specification of components. A further chapter deals with Emc management: discussion of management requirements, company policy, Qa needs, the role of the Emc co-ordinator, including test and control plans.Legislation and standards.What is EMC?
