The Student EMC Hardware Design Competition is back for EMC+SIPI 2025! The Education Committee (EdCom) of the IEEE EMC Society would like to invite students currently enrolled in a college or university at either the Ph.D., graduate, or undergraduate level to submit a method for locating an RF source in the presence of unknown reflections.

Advanced Test Equipment Corp (ATEC), a leading provider of test and measurement equipment rentals, has been recognized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for its exceptional contributions to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society. This prestigious award highlights ATEC’s unwavering commitment to advancing EMC testing, industry education, and regulatory compliance. 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) simulators are crucial tools in the field of electronics testing. They are designed to replicate the electrostatic discharge events that electronic devices might encounter during their lifecycle. These simulators ensure that devices can withstand ESD events without malfunctioning, which is vital for maintaining their performance and safety. Let’s explore how ESD simulators are applied across different industries.

The Commission of the European Union (EU) has stepped up its efforts to ensure that Member States implement the provisions of the EU Directive on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Bi-partisan legislation that would mandate access to AM radio technologies in all new vehicles sold in the U.S. has passed another milestone.
