Explains and resolves the electromagnetic compatibility challenges
faced by engineers in transportation and communications
This book is a mathematically-rich extension of courses required to
maintain the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA), and the European Union certifications. The
text provides an in-depth study of the electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) issues related to specific topics in transportation and
communications, including Light Rail Transit, shadow effects, and radio
dead spots, through the analysis of real-world case studies in the
United States and Europe. The author provides Cartesian, cylindrical,
and spherical solutions that can be applied to Maxwell's and Wave
Equations. The book covers topics such as SCADA Systems, shielding, and
complexities of radio frequencies and their effect on communication
houses. The author also provides information for alternative industries
to apply the solutions from the case studies and background content to
their own professions.
- Presents a series of over twenty real-world case studies related to
EMC in transportation and communications
- Covers power line radiation, shadow effects on subway cars, train
control systems, and edge distortions
- Includes the OATS testing method and Department of Transportation
(DOT) test
- Provides access to a companion website housing power point slides and
additional appendices
Electromagnetic Compatibility: Analysis and Case Studies in
Transportation is a reference for practicing engineers involved in
transportation and communications, as well as post-graduate engineering
students studying transportation and communications in engineering.
