By Kevin Slattery Harry Skinner
Description Intra-system EMC problems are becoming increasingly common in mobile devices, ranging from notebook PCs to cell phones, with RF/wireless
capbilities. These issues range from minor annoyances to serious glitches which impede the functioning of the device. This book gives
a thourough review of electromagnetic theory (including Maxwell's equations), discusses possible sources and causes of intra-system interference,
shows to use models and analysis to discover potential sources of intra-system EMC in a design, how to use appropriate tests and measurements
to detect intra-system EMC problems, and finally extensively discusses measures to mitigate or totally eliminate intra-system EMC problems.
With more and more mobile devices incorporating wirless capability (often with multiple wireless systems, such as Bluetooth and WiFi),
this book should be part of the reference shelf of every RF/wireless engineer and mobile device designer.
