Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course the student should be able to understand, describe and apply in scientific investigation the difference in creating a state of electromagnetic compatibility between small “isolated” systems and in large distributed systems. This in terms of:
Interconnectedness and interdependencies.
Coupling paths and “Point of Entry” for EMI.
EMC testing.
Mitigation and protection methods
Standardization and legislation.
Non-traditional disturbance characteristics.
EM-sabotage/terrorism (Intentional electromagnetic interference, IEMI) and jamming.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Other requirements for final grade
Oral presentation of a selected topic.
Completed weekly home-work problems on time.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
