Synopsis:

Subject is devoted to principles and technologies of airplane distributed systems and their employment. Widely used standard systems are then presented together with their features and specific application areas with focus on reliability and redundancy. Finally the EMC basics are explained and typical EMI and EMS evaluation methods are presented with focus on distributed communication.
