You are invited to attend the Orange County IEEE EMC Society meeting on Tuesday, May 14, at CKC Laboratories in Brea.
Topic: Shielding Effectiveness: A Practical View The talk will cover shielding effectiveness from different points of view including cable and system shielding. Examples and demonstrations of shielding problems and fixes will be presented. Use of plane wave shielding effectiveness specs of shielding material can sometimes lead to using the wrong material in applications where shielding is needed between parts of a system. A method of measuring shielding effectiveness that is easy to perform and gives better results for some system shielding needs will be discussed and demonstrated. Sometimes, shielding no matter how well done can cause problems instead of fixing them. An example of this will be given. Speaker: Douglas C. Smith Mr. Smith held an FCC First Class Radiotelephone license by age 16 and a General Class amateur radio license at age 12. He received a B.E.E.E. degree from Vanderbilt University in 1969 and an M.S.E.E. degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1970. In 1970, he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories as a Member of Technical Staff. He retired in 1996 as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff. From February 1996 to April 2000 he was Manager of EMC Development and Test at Auspex Systems in Santa Clara, CA. Mr. Smith currently is an independent consultant specializing in high frequency measurements, circuit/system design and verification, switching power supply noise and specifications, EMC, and immunity to transient noise. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a member of the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors. His technical interests include high frequency effects in electronic circuits, including topics such as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and other forms of pulsed electromagnetic interference. He also has been involved with FCC Part 68 testing and design, telephone system analog and digital design, IC design, and computer simulation of circuits. He has been granted over 15 patents, several on measurement apparatus. Mr. Smith has lectured at Vanderbilt University, AT&T Bell Labs, and at many public and private seminars on high frequency measurements, circuit design, ESD, and EMC. He is author of the book High Frequency Measurements and Noise in Electronic Circuits and is currently working on his second book.
