In the modern world, we are constantly surrounded by technology. USB and HDMI cables are used in both household and industrial systems.
Wherever electronic technology is present, unwanted electromagnetic fields often arise. These sometimes lead to interference and vague complaints, both at home and in industry, both of which are classified under the heading of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
Many people blindly trust these so-called shielded cables. They (unfortunately) don't fall under the EMC directive, but they do play a crucial role. In practice, this "protection" proves far from effective. Shielding against electromagnetic fields is more complex than it seems, and the physical principles remain unchanged over the years. This isn't due to unwillingness, but often a lack of knowledge. Electrical engineering courses rarely address the operation of EMC shielding and its effect on, for example, signal disruption.
That's why we're going back to basics at the EMC ESD day. We'll show you how to use "radiation" correctly to reduce electromagnetic fields. No abracadabra, but a practical approach with a touch of humor and common sense. Naturally, there's a demonstration, so it becomes clear that EMC isn't just theory; it's tangible practice.
For anyone who ever found EMC shielding a mystery, we now provide insight, and it turns out to be surprisingly simple.
