EMC 2008 Symposium - Global University -Detroit Michigan

The Global EMC University
to be held at the
2008 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility
in Detroit

Nowhere else can one receive this level of EMC education from instructors all over the world in one place at one time! This multi-session course has been designed for individuals with a background in EMC or who have attended the Fundamentals of EMC workshop in previous years.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES
At the end of this sequence of lectures, the participant will:

(1) understand and be able to use the PSPICE circuit analysis program in solving EMC problems;

(2) be able to view the typical digital signals both in the time and the frequency domains, and will understand the relationship between the time-domain parameters and the spectral content of the signal;

(3) understand the non-ideal (parasitic effects) of components (wires and PCB lands, resistors, capacitors, inductors, ferrites, etc.);

(4) understand how to redesign a power supply filter to reduce the conducted emissions of a product;

(5) understand the basic properties of all antennas whether they be used for measurement of compliance or in immunity testing;

(6) understand how radiated electromagnetic fields are produced in an electronic product and design methods that reduce those emissions;

(7) understand how electromagnetic shielding is accomplished and the factors that affect those properties;

(8) understand how to design high-speed digital circuit to preserve signal integrity;

(9) understand crosstalk and the options that the designer has to control crosstalk;

(10) understand the basic principles of proper PCB layout that controls radiated and conducted emissions.
