The 11th International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference & Compatibility (INCEMIC 2010) will be held in Bangalore, India from 25-26 November 2010. The Conference will cover the entire scope of electromagnetic compatibility. Prior to the Conference, on 23-24 November 2010 a two day Workshop cum Tutorials on the latest trends in the field of EMI & EMC will be conducted by expert faculty.

 

The aims and objectives of the workshop are to give hands-on practical and design oriented technical know-how to the participants based upon case studies. It will also be a platform where the participants will have an in-depth exposure to the state-of-the art cutting edge technologies designed and developed over the years in EMC technology.

 

Workshop topics:

 

Immunity testing:

Changes in the second editions of IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), -4 (EFT/B), -5 (surge) and -6 (conducted RF, particularly cable loading and large equipment); edition 3 of IEC 61000-4-3 (radiated RF), particularly testing above 1GHz and new checks on amplifier saturation; amplifier saturation also in MIL STD 461F RS103; conducted susceptibility developments in MIL STD 461F; the application of measurement uncertainty to immunity and the CENELEC interpretation sheets

 

Emissions testing:

CISPR 22 tests above 1GHz and SVSWR calibration, developments in the telecom port conducted emission tests; the consequences of new developments in CISPR 16-1-X; CISPR 32 and 35 developments; time domain FFT measurements, their advantages and disadvantages; RE101 and 102 changes in MIL STD 461F, use of the rod antenna.

 

Seminar om EMC Design (mostly focused on printed circuit boards, but also includes shielding)

 

Seminar on introduction to full wave modeling/simulation

 

 

The Faculty

 

Dr. Bruce Archambeault

Dr. Bruce Archambeault is an IBM Distinguished Engineer at IBM in Research Triangle Park, NC.  He received his B.S.E.E degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1977 and his M.S.E.E degree from Northeastern University in 1981.  He received his Ph. D. from the University of New Hampshire in 1997.  His doctoral research was in the area of computational electromagnetics applied to real-world EMC problems.   

Dr. Archambeault has authored or co-authored a number of papers in computational electromagnetics, mostly applied to real-world EMC applications.  He is currently the IEEE EMC Society Technical Activities Chair,  a past member of the Board of Directors for the  IEEE EMC Society and a past Board of Directors member for the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES).  He has served as a past IEEE/EMCS Distinguished Lecturer and was awarded the IEEE EMC Society’s Richard R. Stoddart Award for Outstanding Technical Performance in 2009.  He is the author of the book “PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control” and the lead author of the book titled “EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook”. 

 

Tim Williams

Tim Williams gained a BSc in Electronic Engineering from Southampton University in 1976. He has worked in electronic product design in various industry sectors including process instrumentation and audio visual control. He was design group leader at Rosemount Ltd before leaving in 1990 to start Elmac Services. Elmac Services provides consultancy and training on all aspects of EMC, including design, testing and the application of standards, to companies manufacturing electronic products and concerned about the implications of EMC requirements.

 

He is the author of “The Circuit Designer’s Companion” (2nd edition, Elsevier 2004) and “EMC for Product Designers” (now in its fourth edition, Elsevier 2006), and has presented numerous conference papers and seminars. He is also author of “EMC for Systems & Installations” with Keith Armstrong. He is an EMC technical assessor for UKAS and SWEDAC.
