The IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society is the world's largest organization dedicated to the development and distribution of information, tools and techniques for reducing electromagnetic interference. The society's field of interest includes standards, measurement techniques and test procedures, instrumentation, equipment and systems characteristics, interference control techniques and components, education, computational analysis, and spectrum management, along with scientific, technical, industrial, professional or other activities that contribute to this field.

The Fall 2011 Newsletter (Issue 231) is now on-line!

2012 Call for BOD Nominations

Candidate nominations are now being accepted for the 2012 IEEE Annual Elections ballot for Director-at-Large positions on the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors (BoD) for a three year term, beginning January 1, 2013.

2012 Student Design Competition

The IEEE EMC Society is pleased to announce the 2012 Student EMC Hardware Design Competition, administered by its Educational and Student Activities Committee (ESAC). The objective of the competition is to provide students interested in the field of EMC a hands-on opportunity to apply their knowledge. Contestant teams will construct a specified digital circuit containing six integrated circuits using their choice of layout and power supply-filtering techniques. Each completed design will be tested for RF radiated emissions, and design with the lowest overall emissions will be declared the winner. The winning entry will be awarded $900 in cash, and one team member will receive an expense-paid trip to attend the 2012 IEEE International Symposium on EMC held in Pittsburgh, PA, August 5-10.

Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD)

The first GOLD EMC event was kicked off the first time at the 2011 IEEE EMC Symposium Long Beach with an Ice Cream Social on Tuesday night Aug 14th at the wonderful Long Beach Aquarium.  Then a technical session followed up on Wednesday featuring outstanding speakers such as Bruce Archambeault and Todd Hubing.

EMC Aviators Club

To be part of the Club one should be involved in EMC, have a pilot's license (power or gliding) and a wish to share your adventures and pictures with others. Information at: http://orlandi.ing.univaq.it/EMCfly/index.htm.

Amateur Radio in EMC

A number of EMC Society members also hold Amateur Radio licenses.  Here is a list of Amateurs in EMC.

  • 2010 Interview of 3 Society Founders
    At the 2010 IEEE EMC Symposium, Dan Hoolihan interviewed Society Founders: Milton Kant, Melvin First and Ralph Showers. The interview was recorded by Espresso Engineering.
  • EMC Founders War Stories
    At the 2007 IEEE EMC Symposium in Honolulu, several founders of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society gave their recollections of the founding and the early days of the EMC Sociey.
  • EMC-S members have electronic access to EMC Transaction and Proceedings papers that can be downloaded (limit of 500 per year) at no additional cost to members through IEEE Xplore.
  • The 50th Anniversary Committee prepared a video celebrating the first 50 years of our society and historical events that have influenced the field of electromagnetic compatibility.
  • EMCS member interviews now available online
    Interviews of several esteemed veteran members of the EMC Society conducted by the IEEE History Center as part of its series of oral histories are available online. These include interviews with Warren Kesselman, Leonard Thomas, Sr., Chet Smith and others. Also, check out the IEEE Virtual Museum.
  • IEEE/EMC Transactions can now be read online through the IEEE Xplore® system.  They can be accessed by clicking the Xplore® EMC Transactions link in the left navigation bar.  On the Xplore® page, select “What Can I Access? under the “Welcome to IEEE Xplore” option.  You must have an IEEE web account to enter a username and password in order to access to the EMC Transactions.
