Daryl Gerke

Daryl Gerke, PE, has been a successful consulting engineer for 41 years. In 1978, Daryl and his business partner (the late Bill Kimmel, PE) co-founded Kimmel Gerke Associates as a part-time electrical engineering consulting firm. In 1987, they went full time specializing in EMI/EMC design, troubleshooting, and training. Since 1987, they solved or prevented hundreds of EMI/EMC problems across a range of industries. They wrote three books and over 200 articles on EMI/EMC, and they trained over 12,000 students on EMI/EMC design and troubleshooting through their seminars. Now easing into retirement, Daryl no longer consults but remains involved in EMC training. Daryl has a BSEE (Electrical Engineering) degree from the University of Nebraska, is a Registered Professional Engineer (PE), and a NARTE Certified EMC Engineer (NCEE).

Fundamentals

Troubleshooting EMC Problems Like an MD

This article describes three troubleshooting methodologies doctors use to diagnose (troubleshoot) medical problems. These same techniques have proven useful in my own EMC consulting practice.

Testing

Prepping for EMI Testing

1408 F3 cover Like it or not, most electronic designs today are subject to formal EMI testing. So even if you are new to EMI/EMC (electromagnetic interference/compatibility), you need to understand what is involved and how to best prepare for a trip to the EMI test lab.

Basics

Military Shielding

Shielding to control EMI is a staple in modern electronics, playing a major role in military applications. Internal design practices can do much to control EMI in commercial and industrial electronics, but there is a limit to how much you can do. The EMI demands in military electronics are such that good internal design practices are inadequate - shielding is usually needed.
