| Electromagnetic interference | Food & Agriculture | Any electromagnetic disturbance which interrupts, obstructs, degrades or limits effective performance of electronic and electrical equipment. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Electromagnetic interference | Health | Low frequency electromagnetic waves that emanate from electromechanical devices. An electromagnetic disturbance caused by such radiating and transmitting sources as heavy duty motors and power lines can induce unwanted voltages in electronic circuits, damage components and cause malfunctions. See: radiofrequency interference. (references) | |
| Electromagnetic interference | Military | (DOD) Any electromagnetic disturbance that interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective performance of electronics and electrical equipment. It can be induced intentionally, as in some forms of electronic warfare, or unintentionally, as a result of spurious emissions and responses, intermodulation products, and the like. Also called EMI.

| Electromagnetic interference (EMI) | Business | 1: Any electromagnetic disturbance that interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective performance of electronics/electrical equipment. It can be induced intentionally, as in some forms of electronic warfare, or unintentionally, as a result of spurious emissions and responses, intermodulation products, and the like. Synonym radio frequency interference. (references) | |
| 2: 1. Signal impairment resulting from electromagnetic disturbances in the atmosphere or immediate vicinity of the signal transmission media. 2. A phenomena which, either directly or indirectly, can contribute to a degradation in performance of an electronic system. Causes of EMI are high power transmission lines, radio and television transmitter, radio systems, electric held-arc welders, electrical sub-stations, power plants and mobile transmitters. The strongest source of electromagnetic interference is lightning. EMI is also referred to as conducted electromagnetic energy. (references) | |||
| Electromagnetic interference (EMI) | Military | Engineering term used to designate interference in a piece of electronic equipment caused by another piece of electronic or other equipment. Sometimes refers to interference caused by nuclear explosion. (references) | |
| Electromagnetic interference (EMI) control | Business | The control of radiated and conducted energy such that emissions that are unnecessary for system, subsystem, or equipment operation are reduced, minimized, or eliminated. Note: Electromagnetic radiated and conducted emissions are controlled regardless of their origin within the system, subsystem, or equipment. Successful EMI control with effective susceptibility control leads to electromagnetic compatibility. (references) | |
