What Does EMI Stand For?

EMI stands for Electomagnetic Interference

EMI, or Electromagnetic Interference, refers to the disruption of electronic device operation caused by electromagnetic radiation emitted from external sources. This interference can affect the performance and functionality of electronic systems, leading to degraded signal quality or complete device failure. EMI can arise from both natural sources, such as lightning, and man-made sources, including motors, power lines, and wireless communications. Effective management of EMI is crucial in the design and operation of electronic equipment to ensure reliability and compliance with regulatory standards.
