Henry W. Ott is President and Principal Consultant of Henry Ott Consultants, an EMC training and consulting organization. He has literally “written the book” on the subject of EMC and is considered by many to be the nation’s leading EMC educator. He is the author of the popular EMC book Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems (1976, 1988). The book has sold over 65,000 copies and has been translated into six other languages. In addition to knowing his subject, Mr. Ott has the rare ability to communicate that knowledge to others.
Mr. Ott’s newly published (Aug. 2009) 872-page book, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering, is the most comprehensive book available on EMC. While still retaining the core information that made Noise Reduction Techniques an international success, this new book contains over 600 pages of new and revised material.
Prior to starting his own consulting company, Mr. Ott was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany, NJ for 30 years, where he was a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff and a consultant on EMC. Mr. Ott is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and has served the EMC Society in various capacities including: membership on the Board of Directors, Education Committee Chairman, Symposium Committee Chairman and Vice President of Conferences. He is also a member of the ESD Association and a NARTE certified ESD engineer. He is a past Distinguished Lecturer of the EMC Society, and lectures extensively on the subject of EMC.
