Background:  Antenna calibration and chamber validation have been a popular topic at EMC test and measurement facilities around the world.  While the leading technical standards issued by ANSI C63 and CISPR have detailed descriptions on the test methods and test procedures, the technical background and cross-references between the two standards and general practices are not so well understood and shared among international communities.  This webinar is intended to bring the experts representing industry and government metrology institutions to share with you their experience! 

View the original EMC Antenna Calibration Webinar here for additional background to better prepare you for the Round Table discussion or catch up quickly with the overview presentations.

Webinar Abstract:  The landscape of EMC testing provides a wide variety of different requirements and test methods. Calibration is the process used to provide the traceability on measurement to the International System of Units (SI).  Depending on the product testing method and writing body, the three most commonly referenced documents for antenna calibration are CISPR 16-1-6, ANSI C63.5, and SAE ARP 958.  This is an overview presentation of the three documents most commonly used by EMC testing standards for the calibration of an antenna, how to specify those services as you need them, and when to know the difference.

Meanwhile, EMC chamber test site validation test requirements in CISPR 16-1-4 2019 and ANSI C63.4a 2017 have a slight difference in procedure descriptions.  While technically equivalent, they are often used incorrectly; resulting in an NSA error of up to 2.4 dB.  This overview presentation will address the technical issues of the two main industry standards and present solutions to help you perform test site validation more accurately and compliant with both international standards.

The IEEE EMC Society and EMC Europe are teaming up to bring you EMC+SIPI 2021. We would all have very much liked to have had the planned in-person symposium in the beautiful city of Glasgow, Scotland but are instead focussing on delivering an outstanding virtual event – with a Scottish flavour.

Welcome​ ​to​ ​the​ ​43rd​ ​Annual​ ​Meeting​ ​and​ ​Symposium​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Antenna​ ​Measurement​ ​Techniques Association

STAR Dynamics is proud to host the 43rd Annual Meeting and Symposium of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) at the world-famous Daytona Beach, Florida, USA from October 24-29, 2021. STAR Dynamics and co-hosts, Applied Research Associates and Florida International University, cordially invite you to attend and participate in this annual event.

This three-day Fundamentals of Vibration and Shock test training LIVE WEBINAR covers all the information required to plan, perform and interpret the results of all types of dynamic testing. Some of the additional areas covered are fixture design, field data measurement and interpretation, evolution of test standards and HALT/HASS processes.

This class is applicable to ANY vibration and shock testing done to environmental test standards including MIL-STD-810, DO-160, IEC specifications, and all other documents which provide test methodology for environmental testing. The test methods explained and taught in this class apply to testing of ANY equipment subjected to dynamic environments whether it is intended for military/aerospace, commercial, or consumer use.

We overview Sine and Random Vibration, also classical waveform shock testing, drop testing and Shock Response Spectrum Testing. We include instrumentation, vibration test, equipment, control systems and fixture design and evaluation.

In addition to numerous photographs and videos the class will watch a pre-recorded lab visit which will include a demonstration of the vibration test equipment and test techniques discussed in class. An instrumented resonant structure is excited first with slowly sweeping constant acceleration sine vibration. As the frequency increases the observers will directly see the decrease in displacement. The sine vibration demonstration will be followed by an all-frequencies-simultaneous random vibration. Responses will be are compared.

Classroom discussion is supported by projected visuals and video clips. Commencing with a review of basic vibrations, we will explore vibration measurements and analysis. We will compare sinusoidal vs. random vibration testing systems, specifications, standards and procedures. We will emphasize vibration and shock test fixture design, fabrication, experimental evaluation, and usage. We will study shock measurement, shock response spectrum (SRS) and shock testing.

The webinar is completely interactive. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and request clarification throughout the class time.

The course emphasizes topics you will use immediately. Suppliers to the military services protectively install commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment in our flight and land vehicles and in shipboard locations where vibration and shock can be severe. We laboratory test the protected equipment (1) to assure maximum equipment survival and possible combat, also (2) to meet commercial test standards, IEC documents, military standards such as STANAG or MIL-STD-810H, DO-160, etc. Few if any engineering schools teach about such protection or such testing. Hence this specialized course.

EMC & Compliance International

A brand-new type of conference on EMC and other compliance issues will be held in the UK

The EMC-UK conferences were very successful for many years, and this year we are bringing a new version back home to an updated Newbury Racecourse.

This is an independent conference, called EMC & Compliance International because its scope includes all compliance activities (Safety, Radio Equipment, EMC, etc., and specification, design, testing, documentation, etc.) worldwide.

As well as the Exhibition, there will be Training Workshops, Technical Workshops, and the completely new TWEX – Ten minutes With an EXpert. A Distinguished Lecturer provided by the IEEE EMC Society will also give a free presentation on the red-hot topic: EMC for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT).

The six Training Workshops will all be given by Keith Armstrong of Cherry Clough Consultants Ltd, who in 2018 was the first person to receive the IEEE EMC Society’s new award on “Excellence in Continuing EMC Education”.

Details of these very practical training workshops are given here.

TWEX is a totally new type of exhibition activity, and we think you will love it!

A variety of experts will sit at individual tables and spend up to ten minutes (no more!) talking with anyone, for free.

We currently have eight “TWEXperts” signed-up, covering EMC and Radio Equipment Directive (RED) compliance; Functional Safety risks caused by EMI; pre-compliance EMC testing; highly-accelerated lifecycle testing (‘HALT’); how to make a difference with BSI Standards; electromagnetic hazards to aircraft, and much much more.
