Today’s Pioneers of EMC
Originally published in the IEEE EMC Newsletter, Issue 231, Fall 2011
Our 2011 symposium has disappeared into history, along with that one week of the year when EMC experts and friends from all over the worl... Read More...
A Historical Look Back: The 1977 CBEMA Paper on Electromagnetic Emanations: Part 3
This third and final part looks at Section 6 (Interference Potential of EDP/OE), Section 7 (The Commercial EDP/OE Interference Models), Section 8 (Emanation Limits for EDP/OE Products), Section 9 (Comparisons of Recommended Limits with Others), Section 10 (Emanation Measurement), and Section 11 (Conclusions).
The iNARTE Informer – February 2012
As many readers will have already noticed, iNARTE fees for most certification applications and renewals have had to be increased this year. The last time we increased fees was back in January 2007, since which ... Read More...
Refer To Your Manual
As a product manufacturer, your duty to warn in the United States revolves around your ability to successfully inform people of the residual risks left over after you have done your best to design out or guard ... Read More...
Obsolescence of Technology
In our continuing series on what the future of engineering may be like, we examine our environment and the needs or desires of humanity. Advances in technology are outpacing the ability of users to integrate ne... Read More...
Clash of the Titans
Engineering, like physics, involves solving problems using algorithms subject to boundary conditions. In electromagnetics, equations are evaluated subject to boundary conditions such as conductive surfaces, in... Read More...
Low-level, Audio Frequency Conducted Emission Measurements: Motivation and Method
Control of low audio frequency magnetic fields from cables, as required by some spacecraft EMI control standards, is best implemented as a conducted emission measurement, but these may require exceptionally efficient transducers and techniques, which are discussed herein.
The Magic of Impedance Paper
EMC engineers are constantly using passive components. Calculating a RC corner frequency, L-C resonant frequency or characteristic impedance, though typical first-year student tasks, are nonetheless a necessary... Read More...
The Early Pioneers of the EMC Society
In the mid-1950s, a group of professionals in the electrical engineering sector of radio frequency interference (RFI), began to formulate the idea of creating an organization devoted to their specialty.
