British telecom regulator Ofcom has issued a report indicating that 2008 was a record year for enforcement actions and fines levied. Illegal broadcasting, or so-called pirate radio, continued to be a problem in heavily populated urban areas. During 2008 Ofcom carried out 36 studio raids, secured 28 prosecutions and 14 formal cautions, removed 489 illegal transmitters, and … [Read more...]

New 10-Meter EMC Chamber Opens in Massachusetts
Testing firm Intertek has announced the opening of a new 10-meter EMC chamber in Boxborough, Massachusetts—a manufacturers’ state-of-the art EMC chamber for testing medical devices, IT, and telecom equipment, and industrial and commercial equipment. The new chamber will provide optimal 10-meter radiated emissions measurements in an ambient-free environment while providing … [Read more...]
Special & Invited Sessions – Modeling/Simulation Validation Standards and Applying the FSV Technique to Quantify Validation Quality
This special session will focus on the recently published IEEE standard for model/ simulation validation. The Feature Selective Validation (FSV) technique is used to quantify the quality of the agreement between two data sets, such as the simulation results and the data used as validation data. The FSV techniques must be modified depending upon the use, and this session will … [Read more...]
Special & Invited Sessions – Spectrum Management: Evolving Trends
To address the growing number of spectrum related problems faced by EMC engineers and technologists, this Special Session will present methodologies and measurement techniques to both control and quantify the use of the spectrum. The objective of this session is twofold. The first objective is to present some of the latest research into the design of components, such as power … [Read more...]
Special & Invited Sessions – Multi-Gbps Interconnect Simulation and Measurement for Signal Integrity and EMI
Building accurate electrical models and predicting the interconnect performance are increasingly challenging for present and future high speed signaling where a few pico-seconds or mili-volts of error are no longer considered “negligible”. This Special Session will address this issue by focusing on multi-Gbps interconnect simulation and measurement for signal integrity and EMI … [Read more...]
Special & Invited Sessions – EMC in Asia
Over the last 10 years, economic development in Asia has increased dramatically. As a result of this growth, the need for EMC regulation and the development of certification schemes has received increased focus. This Special Session will address the present and future of EMC development in Asian countries. Attendees will be informed of the state of regulatory affairs for … [Read more...]
Regulatory Agencies Upping Enforcement Actions
The FCC carries out random audits of products that have received recent TCB grants. David A. Case NCE, NCT, Cisco, Richfield, Ohio, USA The question that occasionally comes up, generally from someone not familiar with compliance, goes something like, “What will the Federal Communications Commission do to us if we are non-compliant, or how will the agency know?” Both questions … [Read more...]
Urban WiFi Interference
British telecom regulator Ofcom has commissioned a report that concludes that WiFi performance in central London can be up to four times slower than that found in less densely populated areas. Although users of WiFi have blamed nearby networks for much of the interference in the 2.4-GHz WiFi band, the authors of the report pin the primary sources of interference on cautious … [Read more...]
New IEEE 802.11 Amendment Covers Vehicular Environments
