What we saw:

Most engineers and technicians using or designing electronic systems have not had any formal education concerning EMC principles and design techniques. Learning how to solve EMC problems on the job can be very expensive for the employer and frustrating for the engineer. Most of the electromagnetic and circuit principles involved are very simple. However, the complexity of many systems masks the logic and simplicity of possible solutions. Using simple EMC demonstrations were Dr Van Doren reviewed some basic EMC principles, experimentally demonstrated these principles and showed some practical examples of how these principles are used to reduce EMI.
