Hi Karen, If you can find a copy, Henry Ott's book<https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Electromagnetic+Compatibility+Engineering-p-9780470189306> <https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Electromagnetic+Compatibility+Engineering-p-9780470189306> on electromagnetic compatibility is good. It's old and it was written when operating frequencies were far lower than what we see now. However, it covers the basics well. Clayton Paul's book on EMC<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/0471758159?msockid=146974b0b2e96c0536bc619eb3536da6> is more recent. It still has some obsolete information, such as Fortran code, but it also covers the basics. My general advice is to get this basic knowledge and then put it into practice in the lab. I learned far more by testing things than I did designing them and having other people give me the test results.

They are also the opinions of an old-timer who never designed a PCB with more than 6 layers. ________________________________ From: Karen Burnham <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 5, 2025 7:03 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PSES] Power Electronics/EMC References You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Hello! I've got a younger engineer who (blessedly) really wants to learn how to design power electronics that can actually pass EMC testing. Does anyone have any go-to references, articles, books, etc. that you like to pass along to newer folks? Any and all recommendations appreciated, thanks!
