        Annual Chicago IEEE EMC MiniSymposium

      This will be a great MiniSymposium, guaranteed to sell out 

       .   

      If you are working in the EMC field, the MiniSymposium is for you!  
       
      You definitely will come away with new ideas about troubleshooting techniques, specification updates and a better understanding on how to measure critical parameters.
        
      While there, browse tabletop booths of manufacturers, EMI/EMC Test Houses, and increase your knowledge of suppliers in this industry.    Meet with fellow EMC Engineers and learn more about how our local IEEE EMC Chapter can assist you in your daily challenges.

              Our 32st IEEE EMC MiniSymposium - See you there

      Topics Covered

      Hour One
      Dr. Scully will begin with a discussion of electromagnetic fields, covering the differences between near field and far field, and the implications for designing effective magnetic and electric field shielding. Attendees will gain insights into the importance of selecting the appropriate shielding techniques based on field characteristics. This session will provide technical background that will help the attendees to understand the content of
      the CISPR 36 and CISPR 12 standard
      s.
      Hour Two
      Ms. Burnham will explore how shielding in both cabling and enclosures can inadvertently act as antennas, influencing EMC performance. She will guide the attendees through practical examples and provide a demonstration that visually illustrates how these shielding components can interact with electromagnetic fields and radiated emissions.
      Hour Three
      In this session, Dr. Scully will delve into the crucial topics of electrical grounding and bonding, which play a foundational role in mitigating electromagnetic interference. Dr. Scully will discuss best practices for establishing proper grounding systems and explain how bonding techniques can reduce noise and improve overall system EMC.
      Hour Four
      The final session of the day will focus on transfer impedance and skin depth, with Karen discussing their roles in determining EMC performance. She will conclude the day with a demonstration that compares different cable terminations. This hands-on demonstration will solidify key concepts and their practical applications in real-world EMC challenges.
