It requires a Faraday cage big enough to hold a 1GHz bandwidth oscilloscope. The test houses have a dilemma: Purchase the expensive calibration system for each facility, or shorten the interval between calibrations. Shortening the calibration interval requires that the ESD simulators be taken out of the service to send them to the calibration laboratories. Neither way seems economically attractive. The express diagnostic method for ESD simulators and standardized ESD test stations discussed in this presentation is an attempt to find a substitute for the standard technique used to verify ESD simulators. The technique discussed is not intended to replace the annual calibration, but to supply an effortless method suitable for day-to-day checks in test houses. About the speaker: Varuzhan H. Kocharyan received the M.Eng. degree (with Honors ) in electro-mechanical engineering from State Engineering University-SEUA (Armenia) in 1966 and the Candidate of Technical Sciences degree from Moscow Power Engineering Institute -Technical University (Russia) in 1973, where he conducted research for dissertation during his graduate-school years from 1969 to1972. The subject of his dissertation was " The Research of Electromagnetic Transients in Induction Electrical Drive". From 1966 to 1997, he worked for the Department of Electrical Engineering, SEUA, Yerevan, Armenia. Throughout that period he held positions of Research Engineer, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor (since 1976). Between 1982 and 1984 he was Visiting Professor and Dean of Electrical Engineering Department in the Advanced Technical Institute, Phnom Phen, Cambodia. In 1997 he moved to the USA with his family. He has been with Northwest EMC Inc., Hillsboro, Oregon since 1998. His current position is EMC Test Engineer. IEEE member since 1999. Member of the IEEE EMC Society's Oregon and SW Washington Chapter Board. Author of 3 patents and more then 30 publications in scientific magazines, proceeding, research reports and tutorials published in Russia and Armenia. His last paper (co-author Dave Tolman ) - "An Express Diagnostic Method for ESD Simulators and Standardized ESD Test Stations " - was presented at the 2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility in Boston, MA. Hope to see you all there on Wednesday!
