A Real-life Story
The Sharp (and Painful) Relationship between Market and Economic Trends and One’s Engineering Field of Expertise and Career Choices In this month’s column I have chosen to bring up a real-life story received from one of our readers (name withheld). In summary, it tells the story of an RF engineer who strayed to programming fields and has a hard time coming back. The … [Read more...]
EMC Testing for Nuclear Power Plant Safety Systems
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has issued IEC 62003 Ed. 1.0 entitled, “Nuclear Power Plants – Instrumentation and control important to safety – Requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing.” This standard establishes requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing of instrumentation and control equipment supplied for use in systems … [Read more...]
Participation and Input Sought
The IEEE Southeastern Michigan EMC Society is exploring the idea of holding “Automotive EMC Lab Best Practices” workshops. This plan is based on the premise that every lab uses various tips, tricks, custom software, and custom-built devices that help to speed up or otherwise improve EMC testing. Possible lines of thought include the “real story” on calibration, experiences with … [Read more...]
