ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY-A NECESSITY FOR HIGHWAY COMMUNICATIONS
NUMEROUS FACTORS ARE DISCUSSED THAT MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) TECHNIQUES RANGING FROM DESIGN OF COMPONENTS TO DESIGN OF EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS, TO CONSIDERATIONS OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATION AND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT, ECONOMICS OF THE USE OF THE RADIO SPECTRUM, THE NATURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE EQUIPMENT IS INTENDED TO OPERATE, AND THE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUIPMENT UNDER DESIGN. ECONOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND SOCIOLOGICAL FACTORS ARE ANALYZED. THESE CONSIDERATIONS APPLY TO ANY ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT USES THE SPECTRUM AND MUST BE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN OF HIGHWAY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION TO DIRECT SPECTRUM GROWTH DUE TO A GREATER DEMAND FOR SERVICE, INTERMODULATION PROBLEMS BECOME QUITE SEVERE. THE NECESSITY OF INCLUDING ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS ARE EMPHASIZED.
