Importance of EMI Management and Design
Protecting devices from EMI is crucial because it can disrupt electronic devices, systems, and equipment that is required for critical applications. EMI is generated from most electronic devices, including devices for medical, military and aerospace applications. Engineers that design electronics must keep in mind how to protect devices from human-made and natural EMI sources. Without factoring in electromagnetic interference, electronics can have a temporary disturbance, data loss, or a complete system failure. Having EMI awareness is the first step to protecting electronics.
Individuals use EMI gaskets and EMI shielding to prevent interference, but it is vital to design parts that have adequate protection from electromagnetic fields that are in the RF spectrum. RF waves can transmit signals that negatively affect wireless communications. When designers do not account for total EMI, devices will fail to function correctly.
It is not uncommon for mass transit systems to experience EMI. Emission is generated from control panels and propulsion systems. Third rail shoes also cause EMI. Train control systems must have the proper shielding and gaskets to prevent EMI from entering and leaving the machine.
Medical equipment frequently relies on EMI shields and gaskets. Life support systems (ventilators) must operate smoothly. If there are problems, a person’s life could be in danger. X-ray machines also require proper protection from EMI.
The military must worry about high-powered microwave weapons and EMP cannons. Much of the equipment our men and women use are electronic. EMI gaskets are frequently used to protect devices from EMI in the surrounding area.
It is essential to consider EMI management when designing electronics. Let us help you create the right shields and gaskets for your exact needs.
