Interference Technology presents ‘Cost-Effective Use of Close-Field Probing Part 2’ a webinar presented by Keith Armstrong. It will take place Wednesday, March 26, at 1 p.m. EST.
Summary
This webinar – number 2 in a series of 2 – describes simple, low-cost, cost-effective, qualitative EMC bench-testing techniques for emissions and immunity, using close-field probes (that many people make themselves) and low-cost portable measuring instruments.
These practical techniques can be used in every stage of a product’s lifecycle, from proof-of-principle to refurbishment, to:
- Save time
- Reduce overall costs
- Increase profitability
- Improve customer perception
– and so they save time and money overall whilst reducing financial risks.
Engineers who have learnt to use close-field probing are more effective in their EMC work, and find it such a powerful technique that they never stop using it.
Content list for Part 2, March 2014
6) Measuring radiated and conducted RF emissions
7) Avoiding overload (inc. out-of-band) and intermodulation
8) Measuring radiated and conducted RF immunity
9) Detailed uses for close-field probing at every stage in a product’s lifecycle:
from proof-of principle to maintenance, repair, upgrade and modification
10) Some useful references
Who should attend
All electronic, mechanical and PCB design engineers, and their managers (who will easily be able to follow the material).
Our Speaker
Keith Armstrong graduated with honors from Imperial College London in 1972 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, specializing in analogue circuit design and electromagnetic field theory.
Between 1972 and 1990 he worked for a variety of electronics companies, as electronic designer, then project manager and design manager. In 1990 he went independent with Cherry Clough Consultants Ltd, providing design services to help achieve compliance with EMC, and with Safety, whilst at the same time helping to reduce time-to-market, design costs, unit manufacturing costs, and warranty costs. Now, Cherry Clough has had nearly 800 satisfied customers in almost all areas where electronics are used.
Additional achievements of Keith Armstrong include: Chartered Electrical Engineer (UK) since 1978 Group 1 European Engineer since 1988 Past Chairman of IEE’s Professional Group (E2) on EMC Member of IEE’s EMC & Product Safety Societies Chairman of IEE’s Working Group on EMC & Functional Safety UK expert appointed to IEC 61000-1-2 maintenance team Numerous publications on EMC for Functional Safety UK expert appointed to IEC 61000-6-7 maintenance team UK expert appointed to IEC 60601-1-2 maintenance team (medical device EMC) Published numerous articles, presented many papers, and published three textbooks, on good, cost-effective EMC design practices for everything from circuits through PCBs to products, systems and installations of any size, whether static or mobile.
