Course content
1. EMC, EMS, EMI definition of basic terms 2. EMC legislation 3. Effect of electromagnetic fields on living organisms 4. Consequences of non-compliance with electromagnetic compatibility principles 5. Sources of interference (industrial, natural) and causes 6. Interference signal transmission (EM signal propagation through free space and over lines, signal attenuation and phases, types of coupling and protection against them) 7. Limiting electromagnetic interference, shielding barriers, shielding of coaxial cables 8. Increasing electromagnetic immunity (susceptibility) 9. Protection against voltage surges 10. EMC measurements (Measurement workstation - shock-free chamber, free space) 11. EMC measurements (measurement antennas, test signals and their generators) 12. EMC measurements (interference measurement instruments).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Laboratory work
  • Preparation for an exam - 40 hours per semester
  • Participation in classes - 52 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 28 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course will introduce students to the issues of electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic immunity (EMS). Students will be introduced to the legislation relating to electromagnetic compatibility, the consequences of non-compliance and the effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms. Students will gain the ability to modify the electromagnetic immunity of an electronic system and make measurements of the immunity of equipment and the interference caused by the equipment under test.
The students will get the skill to modiffy the electro magnetic susceptibility, measure the susceptibility and interference.
Prerequisites
The prerequisite for the completing of the course is the ability of the analytical thinking and the basic awareness of the electrical circuits.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Credit requirements: Student must attend the exercises and submit the protocols from the practical lessons. Exam requirements: The subject exam is written and oral (2 questions from the question list based on the theoretical lessons). In the case of distance learning, lessons will be tought trough MS Teams. Lessons will be at the time shown in the timetable. MS Teams is equivalent to participation and or attendens in lectures and excersises
