Lectures, live demos, group exercises, and workshop.
Course material includes detailed course notes and a reference book.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is essential in today’s increasingly complex electronic systems. A failure to meet EMC requirements—whether regulatory or customer-specific—can delay product launches and lead to costly redesigns. This training helps engineers avoid those pitfalls by equipping them with practical EMC knowledge, tools, and techniques.
This training stands out due to:
- Immediate practical value: hands-on workshop on day 4 turns theory into real-world skills
- Live demonstrations: numerous in-class demos bring abstract EMC concepts to life
- Compact & effective: high-impact 4-day format - ideal balance of dept and efficiency
- Experienced instructors: industry professionals with deep practical EMC expertise
- Early design integration: emphasis on designing EMC from the start to avoid late-stage surprises (DC - 6 GHz)
This intensive four-day course provides a strong theoretical foundation along with hands-on experience in identifying, analyzing, and solving EMC problems. You’ll explore a wide frequency range—from DC up to 6 GHz—and examine real-world solutions using actual product scenarios. The program concludes with a full-day workshop where participants apply what they’ve learned to practical EMC cases in small teams.
Whether you're working in product development, system engineering, or quality assurance, this course provides you with critical insights to improve product reliability, reduce emissions, and ensure immunity from electromagnetic disturbances.
This training is available for open enrollment as well as for in-company sessions. For in-company sessions, the training can be adapted to your product context and specific needs.
Objective
After completing the training, participants will:
- Understand the key mechanisms behind EMC problems
- Know how to analyse and minimize emissions and susceptibility
- Be familiar with relevant EMC standards and test methods
- Apply effective EMC design techniques at PCB, cable and enclosure level
- Gain pratical skills through hands-on measurements and demonstrations
Target audience
This course is designed for:
- Electronic and mechatronic designers
- EMC quality engineers
- System architects
- Project leaders and R&D professionals
- Anyone involved in product development, production automation, or electronic system integration
Prerequisites: Bachelor or Master of Science in electronics, mechatronics or physics.
Program
EMC often lies on the critical path of the product creation process. In this training course, guidelines and tools are given to achieve a systematic and cost-effective integration of EMC technology into new electronic products. In this way, we can prevent delayed market introduction because of EMC problems. The complete EMC training consists of two parts: lectures and a workshop.
Day 1 - 3: Core EMC Theory & Practice
- EMC principles and real-world relevance
- Passive components, crosstalk, radiation, and immunity
- ESD & transients, EMC at cable and connector level
- EMC standards and test methods (incl. CE-marking)
- Mains filters and SMPS design
- EMC at PCB-level
- EMC at enclosure-level
- Analysis methods for robust design
- Live demonstrations and practical classroom exercises
Day 4: Hands-on EMC workshop
Participants work in small groups on practical cases:
- Troubleshooting conducted and radiated emissions
- Immunity to RF fields
- Detecting self-generated noise in products (crosstalk)
- Efficient workbench test methods
This final day is consistently rated as the most valuable part of the training—where theory turns into practice and understanding truly deepens.
Methods
Certification
Participants will receive a High Tech Institute course certificate for attending this training.
