AIMS
Students will know how to design electronic system with respect to electromagnetic compatibility and ionizing radiation issues. Students will be familiar with design rules for systems operating in free space (Earth orbits, interplanetary space), their testing and evaluation according to valid standards.
LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT
The graduate is able to
- find appropriate EMC standards required for particular application
- perform system analysis and point out critical design aspects with respect to EMC
- design a system with respect to EMC requirements
- analyze and solve EMC problems in systems not meeting EMC standards
- discuss general effects of ionizing radiation on electronic systems
- analyze requirements on an electronic system with respect to desired mission profile
- propose suitable radiation shielding for electronic components COURSE CURRICULUM
