15.1 Introduction
Electromagnetic interference is a critical problem that originates from either outside (ground‐based transmitters) or inside (personal electronic devices) an airplane or space vehicles. In addition, EMI is an undesirable electromagnetic wave that makes trouble for electronic devices, disturbing their operation. Electronic apparatus and electrical systems such as sensors, power and power subsystem units, batteries, payload of rocket, communication units, remote sensing instruments, data handling units, televisions and mobile phones, computers, underground transformers, various medical devices, military plane, space systems and externally located units of spacecraft, and commercial airplanes are troubled by undesirable electromagnetic interference (EMI) [1–8]. This EMI also arises from self‐regulating phenomena such as thunder, solar flares, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) and further occurs from separate electronic gadgets that radiate electromagnetic waves as signals, ...
