RF&Hyper, October 6-8, Paris-Nord Villepinte, FranceAt a complementary group of trade shows – Forum De L’Electronique, RF&Hyper Europe, Mesurexpo, Opto, and Vision-Show – attendees enjoyed a variety of technical sessions and product exhibits.During the EMC conferences coordinated by AFCEM (Association for the Promotion and Development of EMC), Bernard Grangier of THALES Under Water Systems gave a presentation on mobile solution for VIRC (vibrating instrinsic reverberation chamber), and Ariel Lecca of PSA Peugeot Citroen discussed tests of EMC immunity to onboard vehicle transmitters according to ISO/CD 11452-09 standardization project.Covering the latest developments in EMC, Genevieve Deville offered input on changes to EMC demand in the military sector, Benoit Martin of EMITECH discussed what digital simulation can offer EMC, and Yannis Braud, CST, reviewed the use of EMC simulation at the prequalification stage.On the exhibit floorAmong the exibits, NEXIO presented the latest release of the EMC tests automation software, BAT-EMC, leader on the French market since 1995. Highlights of the new release include OpenOffice with automatic reports generation functions; Receivers/Analyzers with personalized set-up functions depending on models; and new options to save time on automatic threshold research.EMC Partner France, meanwhile, unveiled its conducted immunity generator TRA3000. Replacing the TRA2000, the new generator will be available in the beginning of 2010. The completely modular design will cover all possible combinations from 1 to 8 test types. ETS-Lindgren announced the launch of a new series of omnidirectional biconical antennas, Models 3180, 3181, 3182 and 3183, for broadband spectrum monitoring, and EMSS displayed Antenna Magus 1.2. Offered in Europe, the tool aids in the design process of antennas and in estimating their performance. IXUS software helps network operators and subcontractors to maintain EMF compliance, allowing customers to model and calculate non-compliance zones in 3D, generate compliance documentation automatically and manage and monitor compliance for a whole network. Also, Jacques Dubois introduced Cemabsorb, a range of RF and microwave absorbers designed to reduce and absorb electromagnetic waves.
