100 pages, Catalogue No. PP-002 (.pdf version only) 2Mb.

Publisher's note: Since the publication date of this text there have been changes in the areas of EMC regulatory bodies, and Australian EMC standards which are now mostly harmonised with those of the IEC. 

One of a series of practical handbooks on technical subjects, the Electromagnetic Screening Handbook provides theoretical and practical information on electromagnetic screening.

Electromagnetic screening is an essential technique in such applications as reduction of electromagnetic interference (EMI), protection of personnel from radiation hazards, protection of ordnance and fuel, solving interference problems and meeting standards of regulatory bodies such as the ACA (Australia), the FCC (USA), and the European Community.

The handbook provides guidance on the reduction of electric and magnetic fields and is applicable to computers, communications, navigational systems, medical electronics, military electronic and communications systems, industrial electronics, mobile radios and many other applications.
