The concept of an equipotential earth simplifies circuit theory by making mathematical modeling much easier, but in reality, such a condition doesn’t exist. As a result, simulating circuits for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI) typically requires the use of Maxwell’s equations, which are complex and demand significant processing power—often leading to increased errors in complex systems.
This book introduces models that are much less mathematically intensive than Maxwell’s equations, requiring less computational power. These models are presented clearly and can be applied during both the development and testing phases of a project, before manufacturing and deployment.
By reviewing the connection between circuit theory and electromagnetic theory, the book shows how to enhance analytical tools, allowing for the simulation of all types of EMI and effectively updating and extending traditional circuit theory.
The described technique enables analysis of all EMI propagation mechanisms without the need for complex electromagnetic computations or debates about grounding philosophy.
This book is intended for electrical and electronic design engineers, as well as EMI/EMC design consultants.
