Abstract
Electromagnetic fields in the sense of EMC are fields, where the field components electric field strength E and magnetic field strength H cannot be considered independently from each other, but instead have to be treated as mutually dependent fields forming an electromagnetic wave as a result of one field source or one field excitation. Additionally, when considering electromagnetic fields the natural retarding effects (runtime effects), which are described in the frequency domain by phase differences, have to be considered. In vacuum, electromagnetic fields propagate at the speed of light, which is to a good approximation c0 = 3 108 m/s.
