"Exploring CISPR-Average and CISPR-RMS detectors and FFT scan techniques"
This presentation will cover the background of two new CISPR detectors, their characteristics and use. We will also discuss the use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) modes available in some of the newest EMI signal analyzer units. FFT analyzers can improve measurement times by 100% or more without sacrificing overall accuracy, if used correctly. A brief overview on FFT techniques and use profiles will be discussed if time allows.

"Issues in Achieving Field Uniformity from 1 GHz to 6 GHz"
The challenge of achieving the stipulated field uniformity over 1-6GHz as required by the new EN61000-4-3 Edition 3 is explored. A worked example is used to demonstrate how the required RF power is determined. Alternatives to the single antenna approach including the use of a 4-horn antenna array and a single-horn with reflector plate are proposed. The results of modeling the alternatives in 3D RF Software are presented.
BIO: Tom is an RF engineer with 8 years experience in leading RF design teams in the design and development of high-power microwave amplifiers for use in defense and commercial applications. Tom received his degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Portsmouth University, England in 1989. He has delivered both practical and theoretical presentations to IEEE EMC Society sponsored events, and has had many technical articles published.

“The Ten Habits of Highly Successful Board Designers”
6:30 PM Social, 7 PM Lecture at National Insturments (DIRECTIONS)
National Instruments, Building C, Room 1S15
You can’t learn everything you need to about signal integrity in one hour, or in one day or even in one week. But most engineers don’t have the time to spend weeks learning the field. If all you will ever spend studying signal integrity is one hour, this is the hour you should take. By leveraging just ten design habits described in this lecture, any engineer can dramatically improve the signal integrity performance of their high speed products.
BIO: Eric is currently a Signal Integrity Evangelist with Bogatin Enterprises, world leaders in signal integrity training. He received his BS in physics from MIT and MS and PhD in physics from the University of Arizona in Tucson . He has held senior engineering and management positions at Bell Labs, Raychem, Sun Microsystems, Ansoft and Interconnect Devices. Eric has written 4 books on signal integrity and interconnect design and over 200 papers. He has taught over 4,000 engineers in the last 20 years.

"Engineering Aspects of Electromagnetic Shielding"
6:30 PM Social, 7 PM Lecture at National Insturments (DIRECTIONS)
National Instruments, Building C, Room 1S15
Every electronic equipment use some type of EM shielding, and from a theoretical point of view, shielding is among the difficult areas of EMC. The lecture is introducing basic shielding concepts, insisting on their practical limitations, and presents the typical engineering problems associated with shielding. Among the aspects discussed are the materials used for shielding, chassis resonances, shielding integrity problems, aperture coupling and shield's grounding.
