Hi All, I am writing this from Oxford University where I will be teaching the next few days. This dorm room makes me feel like I am back in college (except these days dorm rooms come with high speed internet access).
My June article talks about using an asparagus can in the developement lab as a test probe/antenna. The article was inspired by the story of just such a test probe made in the Andes mountains in 1966 out of necessity to find an equipment problem. The article abstract is: Abstract: Test equipment does not always have to be expensive. A simple horn antenna made from an asparagus can is described and its use outlined. This device has been successfully used for debugging emissions problems in new designs. Go to http://emcesd.com and page down to the picture of the asparagus can near the bottom of the page. Next week I am participating in an IEEE event in Orange County, CA for the local EMC Society chapter. If you are close by, stop in.
