COMSERVPAC Shipboard Electronic Equipment Engineering Support. Volume II. EMC Instructional Program,

Electromagnetic compatibility EMC is usually defined as the ability of electronic equipment to function in a fixed environment without degradation of performance due to electromagnetic interference EMI. For present purposes, the definition of EMC is expanded to include personnel safety and a combined personnelequipment environment subject to EMI RF burn hazard Radiation hazard RADHAZ Hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance HERO Hazards of electromagnetic radiation to fuel HERF. These EMC categories are discussed. Since antenna location impacts on all of these categories, a special discussion of that topic is given.
