On advanced transmitter and receiver models for the EMC analysis of modern communication systems

The comprehensive EMC analysis of communication systems includes, as fundamental basis, the physical layer of the signal transmission. It is pointed out in this contribution that it is also desirable to include in the context of modern communication systems the higher order data link layer as well. This, in turn, requires to connect traditional EMC models to the concepts of communication theory. The possibility and necessity of this connection is illustrated by the examples of a generic OFDM data link and a smart meter immunity test result.
