TNE084 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design , 6 ECTS credits.
/Mönsterkortdesign och elektromagnetisk kompatibilitet (EMC)/

For:   ED   WNE  

 

Prel. scheduled hours:
Rec. self-study hours: 160

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
This course intends to provide the knowledge of printed circuit board processing and design considerations, design rules and EMC. After this course the student should:
  • Understand how and why phenomenon like cross-talk occurs.
  • Learn the principles of the printed circuit board process.
  • Implement design guides, and design rules for printed circuit board production-lines, e.g., practical limitations such as feature sizes etc.
  • Learn the EMC requirements for electronic systems, legal aspects and key arguments for EMC.
  • Design high frequency pcb, using computer aided design (CAD), and simulate electromagnetic (EM) radiation.
  • Manufacture a functioning two layer PCB, according to the design specifications and following the design rules.
  • Evaluate critical disturbers, coupling and susceptibility and EM-compatibility.
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
RF electronics

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Supplementary courses:
Microwave engineering, Antenna theory

Course contents:
The course is focused on EMC theory, design and production of printed circuit boards. In printed circuit board design for modern electronics a number of requirements need to be fulfilled; a substrate stack that have the desired electrical and physical parameters must be chosen, which affects design-rules with respect to minimum detail, track spacing, layer connectivity options (vias). Moreover, considerations for an environmental friendly production process are taken. EMC theory: Conducted emissions, radiated emissions, and emission susceptibility. Non ideal behaviour of components. Crosstalk and Signal integrity. Regulations and product certifications makes electromagnetic compatibility a modern electronics key issue. Robustness against EM-interferers and emission level control are important properties. In this course the student learn, pcb design rules, substrate stacks, track spacing, track width, production requirements such as panel size, minimum/ maximum feature size, environmental aspects of the production, waste, material selections etc. Regarding EMC, the student learns the cross-talk phenomenon, EM emissions, radiated and conducted. Furthermore, the student will learn how to implement the knowledge from EMC to design a PCB with source, coupling and susceptibility considered.
