Automotive EMC Expert System

Today's automobiles are complex electronic systems containing dozens of microprocessors and a variety of RF transmitters and receivers. Keeping track of all possible interactions that might result in an electromagnetic interference problem is a formidable task. This expert system monitors automotive designs while they are being developed. It identifies design features that are likely to present EMC problems and estimates the magnitude of these problems. In this way potential interference problems can be averted before the first prototypes are built and tested.
