Call for EMC Experiments Demonstrations

We are planning to hold special sessions on EMC Experiments Demonstrations at the 2003 IEEE International Symposium on EMC in Istanbul, Turkey.

This session is devoted to illustrating important EMC concepts through a series of interactive experiments performed continuously over a three-day period. The experiments demonstrate EMC concepts and principles, phenomena and effects, and measurement methods. Past experiments have demonstrated the effects of PC board radiation coupling; component-cable crosstalk; grounding and shielding strategies; spectral analysis techniques using test hardware; effective EMC test methods and practices; use of EMC instrumentation to measure interference at the device or component level; and the role of EMC standards as part of overall measurement practices. The demonstrations show how in most cases, fairly simple test hardware can be used to quantify various electromagnetic effects.

The experiments are performed by people in the international EMC community representing industry, government and academia.

The experiments will demonstrate the use of measurement systems and novel techniques for quantifying electromagnetic interactions. Other demonstrations will illustrate commercial EMC measurement principles and practices. These will focus on innovative concepts and methods that are of interest to practicing EMC engineers.

Hands-on participation during the demonstrations is encouraged. The demonstrations may cover any topic of EMC, including those based upon the EMC-S Education Committee’s EMC Experiments Manual, Vol. I & II. Several popular Experiment demonstrations from previous years are also welcomed.

If you are interested in having an Experiments Demonstration considered, please submit by e-mail only a short written proposal to the Symposium Secretariat at emc2003@ortra.co.il or to Andy Drozd at a.l.drozd@ieee.org no later than January 15, 2003.

The proposal should include:

i) Title of Demonstration
ii) Presenter Name(s)/Company Affiliation including city/state/country
iii) 1st/2nd choice for preferred day/time period (e.g., Tuesday AM, Wednesday PM, etc.)
iv) A 50-word description.
v) Description of necessary (standard) test equipment

Please indicate in the e-mail subject line the title: “EMC Experiments - EMC’2003”.
Please note that presenters will be required to bring special jigs and non-standard components.
