Contents

IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers through its IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society. The journal covers technical and applied research on electromagnetic compatibility, interference, and related measurement, modeling, and mitigation techniques. It serves as a primary venue for work by engineers and scientists from institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, California Institute of Technology, and industry laboratories like Bell Labs and National Aeronautics and Space Administration centers.

History

The journal originated in the context of postwar advances in radio and radar research, emerging as a continuation of periodicals and conferences that addressed electromagnetic interference first highlighted by organizations such as the Radio Club of America and Institute of Radio Engineers. Early editorial leadership included figures affiliated with Bell Labs, General Electric, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, reflecting ties to laboratories at Princeton University and Harvard University. Milestones include expansion during the rise of consumer electronics in the 1970s, methodological shifts influenced by computational electromagnetics from groups at Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and increasing regulatory relevance tied to standards bodies like International Electrotechnical Commission, European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and Federal Communications Commission. The journal has co-evolved with academic conferences such as the International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and has documented advances paralleling seminal works by researchers at University of California, Berkeley, University of Toronto, ETH Zurich, and Delft University of Technology.

The journal publishes research spanning theoretical, experimental, and applied topics including emission control, susceptibility testing, shielding, grounding, antenna coupling, and signal integrity. Contributors frequently come from research groups at National Institute of Standards and Technology, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and industry teams from Siemens, Intel, Qualcomm, and IBM Research. Articles also address standards and measurement procedures adopted by bodies such as International Organization for Standardization, Telecommunications Industry Association, and European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization. Cross-disciplinary work links to efforts at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory for spacecraft EMC, to projects at European Space Agency facilities, and to automotive EMC programs at Toyota Motor Corporation and Volkswagen research centers.

The editorial board has included editors and associate editors affiliated with Princeton University, University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, Cornell University, and Northwestern University. Publication follows a peer review process engaging referees from Carnegie Mellon University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Imperial College London, McGill University, and industrial labs such as Roke Manor Research and Fraunhofer Society. The journal is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers with production coordinated through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library platform and distributed to subscribers including academic libraries at Yale University and University of Oxford. Special issues have been guest-edited in collaboration with conferences like the IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and workshops hosted by European Research Council projects.

IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility is indexed in major services used by researchers at Clarivate Analytics, Scopus databases, and specialist indices maintained by organizations such as INSPEC and the Directory of Open Access Journals for metadata. Abstracting coverage facilitates discoverability for scholars at University of California, Los Angeles, University of Washington, Peking University, and Tsinghua University. Citation tracking appears in aggregated profiles maintained by Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and institutional repositories at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Cambridge.

The journal is regarded as a leading publication in electromagnetic compatibility, cited alongside proceedings from the International Electromagnetics Conference and standards literature from International Telecommunication Union. Its influence is measurable by citation metrics tracked by Clarivate Analytics's indices and by the adoption of techniques by manufacturers including Samsung Electronics, Royal Philips, and General Motors. Reviews in engineering reference works published by Springer Science+Business Media and Wiley-Blackwell note the journal's role in codifying measurement methods used by regulatory agencies like the Federal Communications Commission and research programs at European Space Agency.

Significant contributions published in the journal include foundational measurement methodologies that built on computational advances from laboratories at Los Alamos National Laboratory and algorithmic developments related to the finite-difference time-domain method pioneered at Cornell University and University of Utah. Influential experimental studies involved collaborations with NIST and industry groups at Intel and Siemens, while theoretical work connected to scattering formulations developed by researchers at University of Toronto, ETH Zurich, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Applications documented in the journal have impacted design practices at Boeing, Airbus, Ford Motor Company, and consumer electronics by Apple Inc. and Sony Corporation, and informed international standards prepared by International Electrotechnical Commission committees and ISO-affiliated task forces.
