I. INTRODUCTION
Electromagnetic compatibility is the control of
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) so that unwanted effects
are prevented. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the
ability of an electrical system or equipment to function as
designed whilst exposed to an electromagnetic environment.
This is achieved by limiting the unintentional generation,
propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy, which
may cause unwanted effects such as Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) or physical damage to a piece of
equipment.

Electromagnetic interference (or EMI) is a disruption that

affects an electrical circuit because of either electromagnetic
induction or externally emitted electromagnetic radiation.
EMI is the interference from one electrical or electronic
system to another caused by the electromagnetic fields
generated by its operation.
 II.TESTS PREFORMED ON DEVICES
EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) testing exists to
ensure that your electronic or electrical device doesn't emit a
large amount of electromagnetic interference (known as
radiated and conducted emissions) and that your device
continues to function as intended in the presence of several
electromagnetic phenomena.
