The Representative Advisory Committee (RAC) will host a special session at the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility in Seattle, Washington. In response to the increased use of wireless devices, the session will be geared for those with interest in the requirements for Radio Type Approval and EMC requirements.
The special session is entitled “EMC and Type Approval for Wireless Devices.” This session will address US and some international regulatory requirements for wireless devices such as cell phones, wireless LAN and PCS devices. Invited speakers for this session include Greg Czumak of the FCC Labs in Columbia, Maryland and Steve Dillingham of RFI Labs in the UK. Look for the session in your Seattle Symposium Advance Program or visit the Symposium web page at www.seattleemc99.org for the complete listing of the technical program. Then, mark the session’s date and time in your calendar and plan to attend.
RAC is formulating plans to offer and sponsor this exact same session at next year’s Wireless Symposium which will be held in late February 2000 on the West Coast (exact date and location still pending). It is RAC’s intention to participate in this event so that the EMC Society can share its knowledge on this topic while learning from others. This exchange of information on EMC between related entities is what RAC is all about!
