Technical Committees

Technical Committees play an important role in the overall success of the EMC Society by promoting activities in their fields and providing expert knowledge and assistance to generate and review technical papers, organize and operate sessions a t symposia, generate and develop standards and evaluate the “state of the art” in EMC science. All meetings are open to everyone; join them for breakfast, a break, lunch or dinner; listen to the discussions, learn what they are working on. Join your peers who volunteer to make EMC better, just by being there you too can be part of the solution and the future of EMC.MeetingsMonday, July 26Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) TC-6 Spectrum ManagementTuesday, July 27TC-1 EMC ManagementTC-2 EMC MeasurementsTC-9 Computational ElectromagneticWednesday, July 28ESACTC-3 Electromagnetic EnvironmentTC-5 High Power ElectromagneticsTC-10 Signal IntegrityTC-11 NanotechnologyThursday, July 29Joint TC1 EMC Management and Education and Student Activities Committee (ESAC)TC-4 Electromagnetic Interference ControlFriday, July 30Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Technical Committee 1: EMC Management This committee is concerned with the development and dissemination of Best Practices and Methodologies for the successful leadership, supervision and guidance of EMC related activities. These Best Practices and Methodologies shall be structured so as to provide assistance to all managers, and engineers. Appropriate and convenient tools shall serve as a foundation to these Best Practices and Methodologies. Technical Committee 2: EMC Measurements This committee is concerned with the measurement and instrumentation requirements in EMC standards and procedures and how they are interpreted. Also concerned with the adequacy of measurement procedures and measurement instrumentation specifications for radiated and conducted emission and susceptibility tests and the rationale for performance limits for these tests.Technical Committee 3: Electromagnetic Environment This committee is concerned with electromagnetic environment (EM E), development of standards for EME measurement and characterization, natural and man-made sources of electromagnetic environment that comprise this environment, effects of noise (unwanted portions of EME) on systems performance, and effects of international civil and military standards intended to control man-made intentional and unintentional emissions of electromagnetic energy. Technical Committee 4: Electromagnetic Interference ControlThis committee is concerned with design, analysis, and modeling techniques useful in suppressing interference or eliminating it at its source. Bonding, grounding, shielding, and filtering are within the jurisdiction of this committee. These activities span efforts at the system, subsystem, and unit levels.Technical Committee 5: High Power ElectromagneticsThis committee is concerned with the effects and protection methods for electronic equipment and systems for all types of high power electromagnetic environments. These environments include electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Intentional EMI environments (e.g. high power microwaves and ultrawideband), lightning electromagnetic currents and fields, and electrostatic discharge. Interactions with aircraft and other mobile systems are included.Technical Committee 6: Spectrum ManagementThis committee is concerned with frequency coordination, management procedures for efficient spectrum use, band occupancy and congestion, federal regulations and their adequacy.Technical Committee 8: Electromagnetic Product SafetyThis committee provides a professional forum for Product Safety professionals, both to develop their own skills, and to provide Product Safety outreach to engineers, students, and others.Technical Committee 9: Computational ElectromagneticsThis committee is concerned with broad aspects of Applied Computational Electromagnetic techniques which can be used to model electromagnetic interaction phenomena in circuits, devices, and systems. The primary focus is with the identification of the modeling methods that can be applied to interference (EMC) phenomena, their validation and delineating the practical limits of their applicability. Included are low and high frequency spectral-domain techniques and time-domain methods.Technical Committee 10: Signal IntegrityThis committee is concerned with the design, analysis, simulation, modeling and measurement techniques useful in maintaining the quality of electrical Signals.These activities encompass all aspects of signal integrity from the integrated circuit level to the system level.Technical Committee 11: NanotechnologyThis committee is concerned with design, analysis, simulation, modeling, and measurement techniques associated with the area of nano-scale technology (materials, components, devices, and systems). The TC-ll activity will be also focused on the EMC aspects related to the interconnection problems between nanostructured systems and subnano or micro-size devices, and on advanced artificial materials, such as metamaterials.
