Modern Trends in Automotive EMC
Technical Meeting - Politecnico di Milano, June 18, 2025, 14:30-17:00
The automotive industry has been progressing at a rapid pace with the development of electric propulsion and advanced driver assistance systems, thus facing new challenges related to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). This technical meeting will cover the most modern trends in Automotive EMC measurements and modeling. Namely, the latest developments in test chambers for radiated emissions and immunity, as well as novel methodologies for conducted emission measurement and electromagnetic-interference filter design will be reviewed by two leading international experts. Recent trends in EMC modeling techniques will be presented by researchers working in the Italian academia. Finally, the meeting will end with a visit to the EMC laboratory (EMCLAB) at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano.
