EMI/EMC Training

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are often used interchangeably when referring to the regulatory testing of electronic components and consumer goods.

But while related, they aren’t the same.

EMI is electromagnetic energy which affects the functioning of an electronic device. Sources of EMI can sometimes be naturally occurring environmental events, such as electrical storms and solar radiation. However, more commonly, the EMI source is another electronic device or electrical system.

EMI can be generated from any electronic device. That said, certain equipment and components – such as cellphones, welders, motors and LED screens – are more likely to create disturbances than others.

Because it is rare for electronics to operate in isolation, products are generally engineered to function in the presence of some amount of EMI. This is particularly important in military-grade and avionics equipment, as well as devices requiring superior reliability in all situations.

EMC on the other hand is a measure of a device’s ability to operate as intended in its shared operating environment while, at the same time, not affecting the ability of other equipment within the same environment to operate as intended.

Evaluating how a device will react when exposed to electromagnetic energy is one component of this, known as immunity (or susceptibility) testing. Measuring the amount of EMI generated by the device’s internal electrical systems – a process known as emissions testing – is another.

Both aspects of EMC are important design and engineering considerations in any system. Failing to properly anticipate the EMC of a device can have a number of negative consequences, including safety risks, product failure and data loss.

Consequently, a wide range of testing equipment for EMC and EMI has been developed to give engineers a clearer picture of how a device will operate in real-world conditions.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines limits for the amount of unlicensed radio frequency interference that can be produced by consumer electronics and other devices. The FCC does this in FCC Part 15 rules.

Other regulations such as MIL-STD 461 and MIL-STD 464 outline EMC and environmental requirements for components/subsystems and systems for military applications.

Outside of the U.S., various ISO, IEC, CISPR and other standards define acceptable limits of EMI and overall EMC. In some industries and markets, compliance with these standards is voluntary. In others, it is a requirement.
