Technical Presentation: The Broadband Gigahertz Field Simulator Chamber The Broadband Gigahertz Field (BGF) Simulator Chamber is an innovative new electromagnetic test tool versatile enough to star in both emissions and immunity testing roles. Offering significant benefits in accuracy, power efficiency, space savings, and ease-of-use, the BGF Simulator Chamber facility at AST Computer recently received approval from the FCC for EMI emissions certification testing after 3 years of outstanding performance as an immunity test facility. Jozef Baran of AST and Mark Frankfurth of Cymer are excited about the opportunity to share the concept, test methodologies, and experimental results obtained from this unique technical achievement. The presentation will highlight the hybrid antenna structure and the advantages over present test facilities including classical chambers and GTEM cells. Field uniformity characteristics for immunity as well as an overview of the FCC qualification testing process for an emissions measurement chamber facility will be presented. BIOGRAPHICAL DATA Jozef Baran received a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Wroclaw Technical University in 1970 and joined AST Research Inc. in 1987. Currently Mr. Baran is a Senior Principal EMC Engineer and Department Manager for the EMC Engineering, Product Safety, and Reliability Engineering departments at AST as well as an active consultant in the EMC field. An expert in electromagnetic interference phenomena, Mr. Baran is the holder of multiple patents related to EMI control in printed circuit board design, and he is a NARTE certified EMC engineer and an active member of the IEEE EMC Society. Mark Frankfurth is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI & SU "Virginia Tech") in Blacksburg, Virginia, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1988. Presently holding the position of Senior Compliance Engineer at Cymer Laser Technologies in San Diego, Mark leads a wide variety of compliance testing efforts on excimer laser systems used for microlithography of high-density semiconductors. During his 5 years at AST Research Inc., Mark contributed to product development of ITE (personal computer systems and peripheral devices) from an EMC, product safety, and reliability engineering perspective. Mark is an active member of the IEEE acting as an officer of the San Diego EMC Society and ASQ as a Certified Quality Engineer (CQE). Mark has several articles, technical papers, and technical presentations to his credit. Regards, Randy Flinders Chairman Orange County Chapter IEEE EMC Society (714) 513-8012 [email protected]
