Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of electronic devices to operate without causing or experiencing interference from electromagnetic disturbances. This means that a device can function correctly without disrupting other devices nearby and can withstand interference from external sources. EMC is crucial for ensuring reliable performance in various environments, from homes to industrial settings. It encompasses both emissions (the unwanted radiation a device may produce) and immunity (the device's ability to resist interference). Proper EMC design helps prevent malfunctions, data loss, and safety hazards, ensuring that all electronic devices work harmoniously together.
