Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering

Excellent book that is surprisingly easy to read. Author does a good job of covering a broad range of subjects. If you're an EE I would recommend picking this up.

EMC authority Henry Ott's new book is out, and it's a beauty. It's nearly twice the size of his previous book. There's lots of new material, including coverage of the Pin 1 problem (with credit to Neil Muncy) and SCIN. There's also an excellent analysis of switch mode power supplies and variable frequency drive motor controllers, with specific recommendations for minimizing the massive noise they produce.Many of the earlier chapters have significant updates, and there are lots of other new topics, analog and digital designs and printed circuit board layout issues, as well as updated information on EMC regulations. A section on mains power focuses on North American practice.There's also the very useful development of an equation for partial inductance -- that is, the inductance of a conductor "in free space" that does not form a loop, which is then reconciled with equations for loops by applying the partial treatment to each element of the loop. This is quite helpful in understanding fundamental practical applications like the inductance of alength of wire in a grounding path. The only other place I've seen an equation to cover this problem is in Terman's 1943 book. Ott's and Terman's equations are a bit different, but provide results that are within 5% of each other for practical problems. A friend recently reminded me that Clayton Paul's excellent book also covers this concept.No surprise -- Henry's analysis is always spot on and his writing style easy to follow. He never "hides behind the math, but there's enough to allow quantification of each principle being discussed. This book ought to be on the bookshelf of every EE, no matter the discipline.Jim BrownChair - Technical Committee on EMC, Audio Engineering Society (AES)Vice-Chair, AES Standards Committee Working Group on EMC

Good book as usual from Henry Ott. The price is not cheap but the contents worth it.

The book is a very nice introduction to EMC problems for an engineer. It is very easy to read and understand. It relies on a significantly simplified theory of curcuits while considering external factors and properties as a parasitic circuit elements so don't expect precise values here, but the idea is very intuitive for engineers because electronic circuits is pretty much all practical electronics design is about. An other good thing is that every chapter pretty much ends up by a couple of simple facts giving you an understanding of what to do to prevent the descriped group of issues. That is apposed to many other EMC-related books that may require a couple of hours of thinking and doing some math to start to understand what is going on.If you just start to build electronic stuff, this is pretty much the EMC-book to read. If you have experience in electronics design, many things in the book may seem trivial but the book is quite a big one so most likely there will be something new to learn and it is entertaining to read anyway.

Good Condition. Good Price. Fast Shipping

Very good book for learning basics of EMC. A chapter about EMC standards is also very good addition.It has no line written uselessly or overly-explained. I started highlighting the important lines and ended up highlighting every line.

This is the only book that I recommend *if* you want to really understand Electro-Magnetic Compliance (EMC) with all the theory involved. It is *the* book that is required reading for those who want to pass the iNarte EMC Design Engineer certification. There are many, many sources of books on Signal Integrity (Howard Johnson), Power Integrity (Howard Johnson), Analog Design (Walter Jung), Digital Design, High Speed Design, PCB Design (Mark Montrose), EMC Compliance (Tim Williams), Power Conversion (Slobodan Cuk) and Electronics Design (Tim Williams); However none of them cover the topic so completely and entirely on the EMC subject as this Henry W Ott does. I highly recommend this book for those who wish to understand and solve very deep EMC problems as well as those who either wish to be an EMC Design Engineer or those simply want expert knowledge on the subject. I have over 32 years of experience in solving EMC issues and many of the trade secrets are discussed in this singular text.WARNING: The details of learning EMC design *do NOT* come quickly and those wanting quick answers will be lacking if using this as a quickie reference book. This book requires reading every chapter (all 18 chapters and 4 appendix's) in entirety to gain full knowledge. This will take many weeks if not a few months to absorb all details before attempting EMC problem resolution. To do so otherwise is simply fool-hardy and spotty at best. - Steven Minichiello

If I knew how to offer a better review than these other esteemed engineers, I would. I’m an electronics engineer in the rail road industry with about 35 years of experience in industrial control design, a senior member of the IEEE, and hold an iNARTE EMC Engineering certification. I’m still learning, and this is my favorite reference book. If your considering this book and it seems too costly, my advice would be not to be skimp on tools used in your career.

Excelente livro. É um bom guia prático para sempre ter como referência para resolver ou ter a compreensão imediata dos problemas de Compatibilidade Eletromagnética. Sendo um tema complexo, o livro busca torná-lo mais simples e palatável.

Très bon livre, beaucoup d'informations et aucune formule mathématique superflue. A avoir toujours à portée de mains au travail ! Aucune altération du livre lors de son transport.

Das Buch über EMV,sehr gut geschrieben. Umfasst alle wesentlichen Bereiche der EMV, als auch praktische Tipps zum Design einer Leiterplatte.Das Thema EMV kam bei mir zu Uni-Zeiten etwas zu kurz, diese Buch bietet einen idealen Einstieg.

Great book about electromagnetic compliance and what to be aware of.

Excellent resource and easy to read. Highly recommend for anyone designing PCBs.
