Electromagnetic environment and telecommunications: towards a cognitive electromagnetic compatibility

This article deals with the electromagnetic environment management problem within the context of high speed digital transmissions deployed in wired telecommunication networks. ionally, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is assured by filtering for better electromagnetic immunity, and by cable shielding for emission limitation. r, like cognitive radio, we can also, for high speed wired transmissions, treat the EMC as an intelligent and autonomous system capable of perceiving its environment, interpreting it, making suited decisions, and reacting according to the constraints related to the electromagnetic environment. s context, some application examples are here given in order to illustrate this evolution towards a cognitive EMC in wired networks.
