Abstract: 

Using Electromagnetic Simulation for Developing Automotive EMC Design Guidelines 

When dealing with the subject of electromagnetic compatibility, one often encounters a fair amount of guidelines in the form of “design rules”, “best practice”, or “lessons learned” which create guidelines to follow to improve EMC design.  Some of these guidelines can be based in theory, logic, or experience but may or may not apply to the situation at hand.  This presentation discusses EMC design guidelines, where they come from, and shows how a greater understanding of these guidelines can be attained by using computational electromagnetic tools.  Several case studies will be presented showing the power for these tools when applied correctly.
