Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues rarely begin at the test lab—they originate in the physics of how current flows, fields form, and circuits are constructed.
In this technical webinar, Astrodyne TDI Field Applications Engineer David Bourner walks through the physical origins of EMI, connecting electromagnetic theory directly to practical design decisions engineers make every day. From skin effect and reverse proximity effect to grounding strategies and PCB stackups, this session bridges theory and implementation.
