Learning outcomes

The course will introduce the basics of electromagnetic signal propagation in an automotive environment where many different sources can influence and disturb its reliable transmission. Moreover, it will deal with the different aspects of electromagnetic compatibility of electronic circuits in complex environments. Filtering and shielding techniques for conducted and radiated disturbances will be discussed, along with conventional measurement methods and instrumentation. The students will learn the main electromagnetic wave propagation mechanisms, how to describe and recognize unwanted conducted and radiated emission and interferences, as well as the strategies to design electromagnetically reliable and robust circuits, in accordance with national and international EMC regulation and directives.

Teaching methods

The activity will be mainly based on presential theory lectures integrated with classroom exercises; group and CAD experiences will allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems.

Assessment methods

The exam is based on an oral test aimed to verify the student knowledge and understanding of basic EMC phenomena. The oral test will last about one hour and will cover all the aspects met during the course.

Teaching tools

Lecture slides will be made available before class.

A limited number of copies of the adopted textbooks and other relevant textbooks are available at the library.
