Coexistence & Electromagnetic Compatibility (CEMC)

The research unit CEMC is going to change the way electronic based systems (EBS) are designed regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility & Coexistence. Right now, physical prototypes need to be at hand to gain knowledge on the CEMC behavior of the Device Under Test. By employing Model Based design starting from single components’ up to complex systems CEMC mature models, estimation of the CEMC behavior by simulation is the big goal. As a second important part, we use Model Based Design to explore the Multiphysics behavior of EBS, eg. influences on the parameters of magnetic materials.

Research foci

  • Simulation and Model Based Design to reach “Design for CEMC” (DfCEMC) first time right
