The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of IEEE's EMC Society is pleased to announce its March 2000 Meeting Notice.
No admission fee, All welcome, Bring a colleque. Visit our website for driving directions and more info; www.scvemc.org When/Where: Tuesday, March 14th, 2000. Silicon Graphics’ Café Iris, Building 5, 2025 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA. Time: 7:30pm - 9:30pm. Topic/Speaker: "Shielding and Grounding for GHz Processors and Beyond" By: Bertram K.C. Chan, Ph.D. Details: Shielding and Grounding for GHz Processors and Beyond The radiated emission levels of systems, driven by multiple microprocessors operating at 1 GHz and beyond, may be effectively mitigated by the various grounding and shielding designs. Bert will discuss ways to reduce Common Mode Reduction at All I/O Ports using what Bert calls "The Quiet Ground". In his presentation, Bert will cover ways to reduce emissions at the source using specially designed grounding devices. He will also cover hard grounding of the main PCB in computers. Enclosures play a major roll in reducing emissions from Information Technology Equipment as you will find out as Bert discusses effective shielding that is designed to provide 90/180-degree coverage on all the seams of your product. Please join Bert and hear his thoughts on effective EMC Design. Biography: Bertram is an R&D Scientist and EMC Engineer with extensive experience in Network Servers, Personal Computers, Space Systems and Nuclear Systems. Bertram has strong analytical and mathematical capabilities, with effective application of EM theory to EMC Compliance design and testing. Currently a Consultant, Bertram's experience includes 2 years with Hewlett-Packard Company, 7 years with Apple Computer Inc., 10 years with Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. Inc. 2 years with the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada, and has been Tenured Professor, Division Chairman of Mathematics and Physics, and lecturer at several Universities throughout the world including San Jose State University, Atlantic Union University, Middle East College and Loma Linda University. Bertram holds a Ph.D. in Engineering, as well as an MS and BS in Mathematics, Chemistry and Computer Science, and has published several textbooks, a multitude of scientific research papers and has 2 patents pending. ===== Best Regards Hans Mellberg EMC Consultant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
