Design your systems to work reliably in the "real world" and comply with mandatory government electromagnetic regulations.
Today's hardware must be designed to work alongside other equipment and adhere to government electromagnetic regulations. **Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)** ensures your system can tolerate specified interference and doesn't generate excessive interference itself.
EMC is the foundation for certifications like CE and is **mandatory for industry-level products**. Non-compliance can lead to market blocking, annoyance, and serious safety risks.
**Definition:** Electromagnetic emissions from your device or system that interfere with the normal operation of another device (also called **Radio Frequency Interference, RFI**).
**Definition:** The ability of your equipment to function satisfactorily in its **Electromagnetic Environment (EME)** without being disturbed by external interference.
EMC optimization is complex and requires specialized experience. For small and medium-sized companies with limited budgets, hiring a full-time compliance engineer poses a risk.
**Expertise:** Over **10 years of experience** dedicated to EMC optimization.
**Background:** Previous work at **world-class medical companies** (EU/US), engaging in EMC design for high-stakes products including **ECG monitors and X-Ray equipment**.
