Full Vehicle Simulation for EMI/EMC

The automotive electronics market has grown dramatically over the past decade. Analysts estimate that 50% of the total vehicle cost will be onboard electronics by 2030! 

Increasingly complex automotive systems have contributed to this growth - including electric powertrains, safety critical sensors, driver assist features, cameras, onboard displays, and communications/connectivity. The potential for these systems (and associated cabling) to become an emitter or victim of electromagnetic interference is a serious problem for engineers whose designs must meet industry standards.

This presentation will share a methodology for simulating full vehicle EMI/EMC and discuss a strategy for ensuring automotive electronics designs can pass regulatory testing.
