This intensive two-day course teaches practical EMC troubleshooting using cost-effective, in-house test setups.
Practical EMC Design for Product Engineers
A hands-on training course with Dr. Min Zhang and Steve Berry for engineers who want to design products that pass EMC testing earlier, with fewer late-stage surprises.
Design with EMC in mind from the first architecture decision.
This flagship two-day programme gives product design engineers a practical route through EMC design, from PCB layout and cable behaviour to filters, shielding, power electronics and robust circuit design.
It is ideal for engineers responsible for PCB design, system integration, enclosure design, or complex EMC problem solving. We recommend at least one year of design experience before attending.
Two practical steps, one stronger EMC process.
2-Day EMC Troubleshooting
Fix real EMC problems using hands-on experiments and practical bench techniques.
Start here if you are newer to EMC2-Day EMC Design
Design products that are better prepared for EMC compliance from the beginning.
