Presentation
Electronic equipment used in the automotive industry must meet the requirements of automotive directives and manufacturers' specifications. It is therefore essential to take these EMC constraints into account when designing and integrating these products.
This course provides a comprehensive and structured overview of the EMC knowledge that is essential today, by familiarising students with the problems posed by the immunity of a complex system and its electromagnetic environment in the automotive industry.
After analysing test methods, the implementation and impact on equipment are examined, with emphasis on the difficulties inherent in the constraints specific to the automotive environment.
Numerous practical laboratory applications are carried out throughout the course.
