An understanding of EMC is essential for the reliable operation of electrical/electronics equipment and systems in, for example commercial, automotive, aerospace or defence markets. The knowledge and understanding from this course can be applied to the cost effective management of EMC, minimising additional costs and production delays in equipment. It is illegal to sell or operate electronic equipment or systems that are not compliant with the EMC Directive within the European Economic Area.

EMC: Fundamentals of Design & Testing is a highly recommended, unique five-day course that will provide you with the essential knowledge required to help manage EMC and achieve EMC compliance with specifications, standards or legal requirements. We have provided EMC CPD to industry for over 20 years and this is the course from our portfolio that we would recommend for those with little or no EMC experience.

Many devices rely on wireless interconnectivity. This course forms a five day advanced course that covers RF and microwave hardware design, at the theory, circuit, modelling, layout and enclosure levels, to produce working hardware designs. The course includes both theoretical and circuit aspects, as well as the practical considerations of real components and circuit layout.

Electromagnetics is the underpinning science that defines all electronic engineering. It is traditionally thought of as difficult, and the mathematical approach traditionally taken can be off-putting. For these reasons it is given less attention in many modern undergraduate degree courses. This course is designed to take the mystery out of the subject by presenting it in an applications oriented manner with explanations through word pictures and thought experiments supported by the maths where necessary.

Management of the radio spectrum is increasingly important as pressure grows on this valuable resource. Recent years have seen an explosion of wireless services, bringing challenges of spectral efficiency and interference management. At the same time, there have been worldwide moves towards deregulation. This course deals with both the underlying technical issues and the details of international regulatory considerations to manage the radio spectrum in the 21st century.
