Description: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) refers to the disruption of the operation of an electronic device due to electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can be generated by various sources, both natural and artificial, and can affect the performance of electronic equipment, causing anything from malfunction to complete failure. EMI is classified into two main types: conducted radiation, which is transmitted through wires and circuits, and radiated radiation, which propagates through the air. The magnitude of interference depends on several factors, including the frequency of the signal, the distance between the interference source and the affected device, and the device’s sensitivity to that interference. In general, EMI can pose significant challenges in various technological contexts, as many electronic systems are susceptible to external disturbances. Therefore, it is crucial to design these systems with appropriate shielding and filtering measures to minimize the effects of EMI and ensure optimal operation.
