EMI/EMC, from first principles to the chamber — why your board fails compliance.

Not videos. Not slides. Every module is a working interactive reference built from real engineering practice — concepts, diagrams, and applied problems you actually use.

§ 1.0 — Architecture

The Curriculum

No filler. No fluff. Just the principles, formulas, and workflows that actually govern professional hardware engineering.

Topic & Scope

Why EMI/EMC Exists

You have been designing circuits. You have not been designing for the real world. The threat landscape, why standards exist, why functionally-correct boards still fail.

FREE PREVIEW
01

The EMI/EMC Problem Space

The vocabulary that makes everything else possible. Sources, victims, coupling, near vs far field, dB and dBµV, the spectrum we actually live in.

02

How Noise is Born

Every EMI problem starts somewhere. dI/dt, dV/dt, switching edges, current loops, voltage transitions — the physics of noise generation.

03

The EMC Engineering Mindset

Knowledge without a process is just better guessing. The decision framework — source, path, victim — that makes everything actionable.

04

System Architecture & EMC Planning

The schematic has not opened yet — and you are already making EMC decisions. Partitioning, isolation boundaries, port classification, enclosure assumptions.

05

Schematic-Level EMC

Every component choice is an EMC decision. Decoupling networks, filter selection, common-mode strategy, ferrites, TVS, transformer choices.

06

Stackup & Return Path Fundamentals

Before routing a single trace — lock the stackup. Reference planes, dielectric heights, plane assignment, why return current shapes everything.

07

PCB Layout for EMC

Architecture decided. Schematic done. Stackup locked. Now every decision becomes geometry — placement, partitioning, vias, splits, length matching.

08

Grounding — The Most Misunderstood Topic

"Connect everything to ground." This instruction has caused more EMC failures than any other. Single-point, multi-point, hybrid, isolated — and when each is wrong.

09

Filtering, Shielding & Protection

Filtering and shielding defend the margin. Filter topology, ferrite selection, gasket strategy, slot antennas, why shields fail when grounded badly.

10

Power Electronics & Switching Noise

The switching supply is not just a noise source — it is a predictable one. Buck, boost, flyback spectrum signatures. Snubbers. Spread-spectrum modulation.

11

Cables, Connectors & Board Interfaces

The PCB is clean. The cable just became a metre-long antenna. Common-mode chokes, pigtail effects, shield termination, connector selection.

12

Firmware-Level EMC

Same hardware. Different firmware. Different emission spectrum. Clock dithering, output rate control, sleep states, GPIO toggle patterns.

13

Pre-Compliance Testing Workflow

The board is on the bench. The chamber is two weeks away. Near-field probing, current probes, LISN, building a credible bench measurement.

14

EMC Chamber Testing — What Actually Happens

You are at the compliance chamber. The clock is running at ₹15,000 per hour. Test flow, what fails, what to bring, how to budget your slot.

15

Debugging EMI Failures & Case Studies

Every failure has a reason. Every reason has a traceable cause. Real case studies: harmonic hunts, ESD upsets, immunity failures, the fix and the lesson.

§ 2.0 — Method

Why this isn't another video course

01

Interactive, not passive

Work four real compliance failures from symptom to root cause, then answer scenario questions with the reasoning revealed after every answer. Learn by doing, not watching.

02

Standard-agnostic

CISPR, FCC, IEC 61000, ISO 7637, MIL-STD-461. You learn to read any standard as a design input, not as a checklist to clear before shipping.

03

From real field failures

Four products that passed every bench test and failed in the field. None was a wrong component value — each was a gap in the mental model.

§ 3.0 — Live Training

Prefer a live cohort?

Small-group, mentor-led EMI/EMC cohorts run periodically. Live sessions, direct feedback, real design review.

§ 6.0 — Detail

Common Questions

Do I need prior experience?
You should understand basic electronics (Ohm's law, what a resistor/capacitor does). You do not need any prior PCB design experience.
Which software is used?
The curriculum is software-agnostic. The physics of electricity do not care if you use Altium or KiCad. You will learn the principles that apply to all tools.
How long do I have access?
You get 365 days of full access to the interactive modules, calculators, and quizzes.
Is there a certificate?
Yes. Upon passing all 84 scenario-based quiz items, you receive a verifiable completion credential.
