twisted-pair cable
electrical data cable consisting of several twisted pairs
electromagnetic pulse
burst of electromagnetic energy
electromagnetic interference
disturbance in an electrical circuit due to external sources of radio waves
wireless power transfer
transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without the use of direct conduction
electromagnetic compatibility
ability of electrical equipment/system to function acceptably in its electromagnetic environment by limiting unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy causing interference or physical damage
crosstalk
In electronics, crosstalk (XT) is a phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit or channel of a transmission system creates an undesired effect in another circuit or channel. Crosstalk is usually caused by undesired capacitive, inductive, or conductive coupling from one circuit or channel to another.
electromagnetic shielding
using conductive or magnetic materials to reduce electromagnetic field intensity
inductive coupling
electrical circuit coupling using induction
nuclear electromagnetic pulse
burst of electromagnetic radiation created by a nuclear explosion
International Special Committee on Radio Interference
The Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques (CISPR; ) was founded in 1934 to set standards for controlling electromagnetic interference in electrical and electronic devices and is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
