As the number of electronic devices has grown, ensuring that they can operate in close proximity to one another without electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become increasingly important. This is the driving force behind the multifaceted branch of electrical engineering known as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which seeks to design equipment that will both avoid emitting interference energy and withstand whatever interference it may encounter from the outside.
The Demystifying EMC conference brings together experts to expand global EMC knowledge. Source: Rohde & SchwarzEMC standards have been developed for a wide range of equipment categories: automotive, medical, telecommunications and many others. As in most areas of engineering, testing is key — and, not surprisingly, the field is constantly developing.
That’s why Rohde & Schwarz’s announcement of the third edition of its “Demystifying EMC” conference, a gathering of experts being broadcast across three time zones to expand global EMC knowledge, is welcome news. Set for Feb. 7 to 8 in Europe and Feb. 8 to 9 in Asia Pacific and the Americas, the virtual conference will be followed by a series of in-person events around the world.
According to a press release, conference presentations, workshops and live panel discussions will offer participants an opportunity to get up to speed on the latest developments in EMC testing, standards, design, risk management and compliance.
The first day will cover essential topics such as CISPR, RED, ANSI and MIL standards, maintaining test facility accuracy and testing on space systems. EMI debugging techniques will also be discussed by Lee Hill of Silent Solutions, whom Rohde & Schwarz describes as “perennially popular” and “on hand to entertain and educate.”
Day Two will have an automotive focus, starting with a keynote on new strategies to ensure robustness in automotive EMC. Other themes of the day will include reverberation chambers in automotive compliance testing, antenna and OTA testing, understanding pre-compliance, testing under real driving conditions and ISO and UN-ECE standards.
Conference sessions will be led by experts from numerous organizations including BMW, AVL, Boston Scientific, Comtest Engineering, Element, INTA, Rohde & Schwarz and Sono Motors.
Running in parallel to the conference will be an online educational area, where delegates can dive into numerous topics within five different streams: EMC essentials, EMI debug and pre-compliance, regulatory and compliance testing, educational documents and R&S featured products and solutions.
