Design and electromagnetic compatibility
Abstract
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the direct responsibility of the designer and from the start should be an integral part of the design. The nature of the many EMC effects can be outside the designers normal experience and this has led to EMC standards being invoked to deal with internal compatibility problems, a use for which they were not designed nor for which are they appropriate or suited. In the design of the SRDE (now RSRE) Skynet Spacecraft Test Laboratory the need for formal EMC testing did not raise as internal performance requirements were more stringent. Lessons learned on the project proved valuable in subsequent general EMC work and some of these are discussed.
