The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the IEEE EMC Society is proud to offer a one day EMC tutorial on March 21, 1997, at the Sunnyvale Hilton, 1250 Lakeside Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086.

The control of emissions from digital electronic products and their ability to operate compatibly with other electronic systems is of growing concern to manufacturers worldwide. Increased government regulations and cost-competitiveness within the electronics markets are among the chief causes of this concern. In addition, as digital devices become smaller and perform at greater speeds, their emissions increase, making a thorough understanding of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) essential for anyone in electrical engineering and design today.

Offering a balanced blend of theory and applications in a highly logical format, the instructor, Dr. Clayton Paul, presents a compact and comprehensive overview of the basic principles and reasons for EMC in electronic design.

Topics that will be covered during the tutorial

EMC Requirements for Electronic Systems

Non Ideal Behavior of Components

Signal Spectra

Radiated Emissions and Susceptibility

Conducted Emissions and Susceptibility

System Design for EMC

Shielding

Crosstalk
