The threat of intentional electromagnetic interference

Abstract

There is likely to be an increase in the number of incidents involving intentional EMI in the future. It is important that engineers be aware of the threat that it poses and that those who design critical applications where malicious damage would have serious consequences should start to consider this in their designs and the layout of their systems. Engineers need to be aware of the problem, assess the risks posed to their equipment or application and then take appropriate countermeasures.
