Spectrum Control explores recent advancements in EMI mitigation and electronic warfare protection in the following white papers.
Chassis Mount EMI Filters from Spectrum Control.
The white paper ‘EMP/HEMP Filters: Electronics Assembly-Level Solution in the Battle Against Intentional EMI and Electronic Warfare’ outlines how increasingly networked digital systems, spanning transportation, banking, energy, and government, face growing exposure to intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) and high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) threats. In response, Spectrum Control presents EMP/HEMP filters as a more focused alternative to traditional facility-level protection.
These filters are engineered to suppress conducted emissions from EMP and IEMI events at the electrical assembly level, supporting the DHS Strategy for protecting critical infrastructure. The paper also highlights the need for stronger awareness in commercial and civil sectors, where standard EMC protections often fall short.
The second paper, ‘Applications and the Evolution of EMP/HEMP Filter Technologies’, explores the broader context of electromagnetic threats and the evolution of filter design. It emphasizes the growing societal dependence on sensitive electronics and the risks posed by inadequate EMI protection, especially for low-power integrated circuits and miniaturized components.
The paper traces the shift from facility-level hardening to more advanced EMP/HEMP filters that safeguard individual electronic assemblies, ensuring both system survivability and EMI suppression. It calls attention to the need for proactive investment in this technology as reliance on digital infrastructure continues to accelerate.
