Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice With an EMC Demonstration System
INTRODUCTION Those graduating from university are often not trained in EMC. When they are, they are most likely trained very well in the theoretical aspects of EMC or at least some physics. However, they often lack the ability to apply these theories to gain a hands-on understanding of EMC principles. I have seen both junior and senior engineers … [Read more...]
CAL-P: The First Portable, Universal System for Functional Verification of EMF Sensors
In today’s landscape of electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements, ensuring the proper operation of measurement instruments quickly and directly in the field represents a major advantage for technicians. The growth of wireless applications, the expansion of broadband networks, and the need for compliance with international standards have made it essential to have … [Read more...]
You Measured What? 4 Must-Know Checks for Trusting Your S-Parameters
Verifying your trace S-parameters is more than just good practice—it’s essential for confident measurement, simulation, and design space exploration in modern EDA tools. Especially in high-speed digital systems where traces are long, applying a few key principles can provide valuable insights into your data and give you a head start in your design … [Read more...]
How to Not Die in an EMC Lab
There are risks in every work environment: risks to humans, risks to equipment, risks to things you might be testing, and risks to customers’ equipment. Such is the case in an EMC lab, which is typically an ever-changing environment with moving parts, equipment, people, and projects. From day to day, EMI personnel can be working on military equipment worth millions of … [Read more...]

What You Need to Know to Design Your Own Kit of Near-Field Probes
One challenge for EMC engineers is the impossibility of visualizing electromagnetic fields with our own eyes. Since we cannot directly observe them, we need tools to transform what we cannot see into what we can see. There are a lot of EMC tools to measure and troubleshoot EMC problems, but their elevated price makes them accessible to only a select group of people. The … [Read more...]
EMC Immunity Testing: Do You Know Your Failures?
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the desired condition for electronic devices. In an ideal world, radio-frequency emissions and transient events would not cause failures or disruptions to electronic equipment. But as much as we (and the product manufacturers) wish otherwise, we are not in an ideal world. Radiated emissions, whether intentional from transmitters or … [Read more...]
CubeSats Require Special ESD Handling Protocols for Launch Integrity — Part I
Figure 1: Tu-Pod in Space (Courtesy Amin Djamshidpour, Co-Founder Teton Aerospace) CubeSats are relatively inexpensive when compared to traditional vehicle-size satellites. Since their inception, CubeSat spacecraft have shown functional success rates ranging from 40% to 75% for launch and deployment phases. According to the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, … [Read more...]
