Overview
What you will study
Key topics of the Mechanical Design for EMC course offered by University of Oxford include grounding at the PCB and enclosure, system ground maps, PCB component placement and control drawings, enclosure and cable shielding, PCB device “cans”, resonant slots and enclosures, heat sinks, unintentional antennas, as well as connector, screw, and conductive gasket placement.
After attending this course you will be able to:
- Effortlessly identify unintentional antennas using pictures of past SILENT projects with EMI problems
- Easily and simply visualize common-mode current in cables and enclosures
- Explain the four noise coupling paths, & identify near-field coupling in real designs
- Understand the function of grounds in electronic product design
- Understand shielding of enclosures and cables, without electromagnetics mathematics
- Design a "good enough" high frequency shield
- Design a "good enough" low frequency shield
- Identify the most common types of grounding and shielding defects
- Apply the concepts of conductivity, transfer impedance, and skin depth to practical designs
- Estimate the resonant frequencies of enclosures, slots, and waveguides
- Specify shielded connectors and cable assemblies to ensure good system EMC

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
