- The electromagnetic spectrum from low to high frequences
- Specific EMI threats and methods to protect against them
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 167 minutes has been met.

In this course, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is defined and Electromagnetic Field Theory is described as the fundamental principle that explains the manner in which EMI is produced and characterized. General characteristics of electromagnetic radiation are provided with a review of the electromagnetic spectrum from low to high frequencies prior to typical EMI examples.
EMI examples are provided to establish distinction between naturally-occurring and man-made sources. EMI phenomena is described to establish the distinction between radiative, conducted and coupled mechanisms. Specific EMI threats are described to introduce the manner in which these threats can be prevented and/or minimized by the use of band-reject filters, shielded and twisted cables, waveguides, fiber-optic cables, high power transmitters locations and use of Faraday cages. A specific treatment of EMI threats to medical devices and testing is also described.
This video is a recording of a live webinar training session. As a recording of a live event, you will hear the discussion that occurred between the instructor and those who attended this webinar.
