The aim of this course is to provide a solid understanding of the mechanisms underlying electromagnetic interference, the fundamental concepts related to both radiated and conducted emissions, and the basic principles of crosstalk. Additionally, the course equips students with the necessary skills to comprehend and design electromagnetic shielding and absorption devices, as well as to tackle challenges associated with measurement techniques in this field.
