Book excerpt: Why Read This Book? - With all the many pressures you have as a product designer, does radiated or conducted emissions always seems like a stumbling block to delaying product sales? Are you continually cycling between design/fixing - running to the compliance test lab - failing again - and back to applying more fixes? Wondering how to attack these issues earlier in the design cycle? Then this is the book for you! Save time and cost by learning how to characterize and troubleshoot simple design issues right on your workbench! This is Volume 2 of a series of three affordable books on EMC troubleshooting. Volume 1 included examples of recommended measurement tools and probes useful for troubleshooting a myriad of EMC issues on your workbench or in-house. Volume 3 will include a deeper look at the top EMC immunity issues like ESD, radiated immunity and EFT.
