Course detail
EM Compatibility and Radiation Issues
FEKT-MPA-EMRAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course is oriented on practical knowledge. First basic concept of electromagnetic compatibility is introduced with respect to current standards. The standards requirements are explained and demonstrated on selected examples. Students will perform real system and subsystem measurements and will evaluation their compatibility with EMC standards. Ionizing radiation issues are discussed: types and areas of occurrence of different types of ionizing radiation are explained, including their effect on electronic components. Design principles for radiation intensive environments are introduced (RNDr. Aleš Jančář, Ph.D.).
