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).
For engineers new to the field of EMC, the road can look very steep indeed. But, with a plan (and some work!), you can grow from EMC novice to EMC expert.
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.

Ever contemplated becoming a consultant? Living free of the corporate bureaucracy? Collecting those big fees? Traveling the world? But how does one get started anyway?
In this article, we’ll discuss what to do next. It won’t happen overnight, but with a plan (and some work), you can move from EMI-novice to EMI-expert.
Ask a manufacturing engineer how to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) problems, and you will hear about ionizers, conductive floors, smocks, wrist straps, and more.

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.
