ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS - COMPATIBILITY AND BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

Module code: EE613
Credits: 7.5
Semester: 1
Department: ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
International:

	Overview
	To introduce two important fields involving the electromagnetic (EM) emissions of telecommunications equipment, EM compatibility (EMC) and biological effects. On one hand, EMC establishes the ability of the equipment to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment. On the other hand, the course focuses on the existing exposure limitations for humans to EM emissions and their biological and environmental impact. The importance of both fields in recent decades has stimulated the research work in these areas, and the corresponding publication of numerous regulations, guidelines and recommendations. Indicative Syllabus � Introduction to EM emissions, compatibility and biological effects � Time-varying EM fields � Antennas � Interference coupling mechanisms � EMC for electronic devices � EMC design guidelines � Biological effects of non-ionizing radiation � Limitations of exposure to non-ionizing EM fields � Body-centric wireless communications � RF coverage surveys For more information on this module please refer to the web link: https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/electronic-engineering/current-students/module-descriptors
