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 standards.
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.
