Hi Amit--
Others have listed some great books on these subjects; you may find the
following helpful for some basics:

I find a lot of radiation and susceptibility issues come from specific design
practices related to return current paths.
You can certainly simulate those cases to quantify how bad they really are, but
you may just end up determining "Okay, that's a bad idea".
Another method to attack the problem is to pinpoint those structures (things
like traces crossing splits, or signal vias without nearby return vias) using
an automated board inspection tool, such as HyperLynx DRC, and eliminating them
from your design:

Subject: [SI-LIST] EMI/ESD tool
Hello Experts,
Do we have any tool for testing EMI/ESD issues?
Also, please provide me some literature on root causes of EMI/ESD.
Regards
Amit
