Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering

by Henry Ott

Praise for Noise Reduction Techniques IN electronic systems "Henry Ott has literally 'written the book' on the subject of EMC. . . . He not only knows the subject, but has the rare ability to communicate that knowledge to others."
― EE Times Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering is a completely revised, expanded, and updated version of Henry Ott's popular book Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems. It reflects the most recent developments in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and noise reduction¿and their practical applications to the design of analog and digital circuits in computer, home entertainment, medical, telecom, industrial process control, and automotive equipment, as well as military and aerospace systems. While maintaining and updating the core information―such as cabling, grounding, filtering, shielding, digital circuit grounding and layout, and ESD―that made the previous book such a wide success, this new book includes additional coverage The concepts presented are applicable to analog and digital circuits operating from below audio frequencies to those in the GHz range. Throughout the book, an emphasis is placed on cost-effective EMC designs, with the amount and complexity of mathematics kept to the strictest minimum. Complemented with over 250 problems with answers, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering equips readers with the knowledge needed to design electronic equipment that is compatible with the electromagnetic environment and compliant with national and international EMC regulations. It is an essential resource for practicing engineers who face EMC and regulatory compliance issues and an ideal textbook for EE courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

A book titled Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems should have more applicable information than this. I am particularly interested in grounding and shielding for audio frequencies. In Ott's examples, even when using shielded twisted pairs one side is always tied to the grounded shield. For a balanced line? His amplifiers always have a common. I use non-inverting op amps where there is no common not 4 terminal amps. It's not clear what "technique" to utilize.

This is a dry book but it does contain information you won't find elsewhere. Worth keeping on the reference shelf.

This book by Henry Ott is a classic. Henry is a well known consultant and takes a very practical, no nonsense approach in this book to EMC problems.
