Electromagnetic Compatibility

Ahmad Shahid Khan, Saurabh Kumar Mukerji
Electromagnetic compatibility refers to the ability of an electrical or electronic system to operate properly in a disturbing electromagnetic environment and without disturbing the operation of other systems or components of other equipment. It basically addresses the issues of “emission” and “susceptibility” or “immunity”. Emission refers to the unwanted generation of electromagnetic energy by various sources, and the required countermeasures. These measures are required to reduce such generation and to prevent the escape of energy into the external environment. Susceptibility (or immunity) refers to the correct operation of electrical equipment (the “victim”) in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances. To achieve electromagnetic compatibility, both of these issues are to be properly addressed. Interfering sources must be suppressed and the potential victims fortified. In addition, the coupling paths between the sources and victims are also to be thoroughly studied and addressed so as to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Concurrent engineering is emerging as an important knowledge-based approach in mechanical engineering. In this approach, while evolving/designing a product the various life-cycle issues, i.e., manufacturing, testing, installation, field tuning and maintenance, are considered. In the design process, one of the important tasks is to ensure compatibility of the elements/components with each other and satisfaction of various design specifications and constraints. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been used to develop a framework called Design Compatibility Analysis (DCA) [16]. The compatibility issues from different aspects mentioned above are represented in the knowledge base and the overall degree of compatibility of a proposed design is evaluated. The theory of fuzzy measure has been used by Ishii [17] to evaluate compatibility or the Match Index (MI) as the utility of design.
Cognitive Ergonomics

Design pertinence. Rotating the steering wheel of your car in the clockwise direction turns the car to the right, and anticlockwise the reverse direction. These two movements are compatible. When you use your television remote control to navigate between channels, then the placement and the shape of the remote controls should be such that navigating between channels becomes easier. For example, the increment in channel numbers could be associated by placing controls with an upper arrow and decrement with a lower arrow. Compatibility ensures that errors are reduced and the users learn to use the device quickly with greater satisfaction.

Compatibility refers to the degree of ease in integrating new technology with the existing infrastructure, work culture, and practices of the firm.22 Several studies found that compatibility of the new technology with the prevailing system is a crucial factor that determines the behavioral intentions of SMEs at the time of initial adoption. Incompatibility of the new technology with the existing infrastructure is a reason why many firms fail to optimally utilize the new technology.42 Consequently, disenchantment with the adopted technology is elevated. SME decision-makers evaluate the most appropriate technology that would be aligned with prior experience, current needs, culture, and infrastructure, indicating that compatibility significantly influences initial adoption decisions by SMEs.41 During the post-adoption period then, if the technology is not perceived to be as compatible as it was expected to be at the time of adoption, then the adopter SME will be disenchanted. H4: E-R gap in technology compatibility increases the post-adoption disenchantment of SMEs.

In the basic project, the final concept is selected from the proposals in the feasibility study. The selection of the concept considers technological, market and economic types of risks for the enterprise. The product definition is deepened by the definition of the general architecture and by deciding if the product will be modular and what the systems and subsystems should exist. Sensitivity analyses are carried out in order to determine parameters which may have a decisive influence on the product. Compatibility analysis is made in order to determine the compatibility among the subsystems and the components as well as between the assembly and the working environment. Stability analysis is conducted in order to determine if the set and its parts are stable in light of changes in the input variables.

In the TOE framework, the technological context corresponds to the internal and external technologies relevant to the firm.28,37,38 This encompasses the firm’s present technology practices, internal technological capabilities, as well as the relevant external technologies that are available.38 Prior IS adoption literature has identified factors including complexity, relative advantage, and compatibility of new technology as well as a firm’s technology competence, as important elements that can influence the adoption of new technology e.g.31,37,39 Complexity refers to the degree of difficulty in understanding and using technology.40 It encompasses factors such as the user interface, features and functionalities, and the technology learning curve. Relative advantage reflects the degree to which new technology is perceived as advantageous or superior to existing technologies by potential adopters.40 Relative advantage is influenced by several factors, including the functional benefits offered by the technology, the potential to enhance competitiveness, and the potential to improve operational efficiency. Compatibility reflects the degree to which new technology is aligned with existing systems, processes, and operations of potential adopters.40 It can impact the ease of integration and use of the new technology within the firm. The degree of compatibility can be influenced by several factors, such as the technical specifications of the new technology and the level of standardization and interoperability with existing systems and protocols. A firm’s technology competence includes technical infrastructure and IT human skills.37 It is argued that firms with a greater level of technology competence are better equipped to adopt new technologies.41
