Hello all, Please join us for the next meeting of the Santa Clara Valley EMC chapter, on Tuesday 10-11-05.
The meeting will start at 5:30 PM with a social that includes food and beverages. All chapter business and other announcements will precede the technical presentation due to start at 7:00 PM. The October issue of the Spectrum Lines can be accessed at www.scvemc.org <http://www.scvemc.org/> . An abstract of the technical presentation and the speaker bios are provided below. IEEE/EMC Society Meeting October 11, 2005 Time: Social 5:30 p.m. Presentation 7:00 p.m. Place: Applied Materials Bowers Cafeteria 3090 Bowers Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95051-0804 Subject: Practical Shielding Theory and Design Fundamentals Speaker: Michael J. Oliver It is important for electronic and hardware engineers to not only be knowledgeable of a products intended function and performance, but also the ability of the product to perform within electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) limits. In this talk, practical shielding theory and design fundamentals are introduced that includes crosstalk, electromagnetic fields, board level, and enclosure shielding. A segment on testing of board level shields is presented affiliated with an aperture attenuation modeling program used to model attenuation characteristics prior to expensive FCC/CE compliance testing. Finally, honeycomb vent panels and respective plating attenuation com! parisons are discussed. Not addressed in this talk, but as background information; standard EMC limits are maintained by the international regulatory environment for EMC such as the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). For product acceptance the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in the US and the Conformite Europenne (CE) compliance marks are paramount for product sale throughout the world. Speaker Bio: Mr. Oliver is Vice President of Electrical / EMC Engineering at MAJR Products Corporation in charge of new product development, customer technical quoting / consulting, and quality management. His expertise is in EMI/RFI shielding technology with a background in electronics, military shelter electrical systems, and high power antenna / radome design. Mr. Oliver holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Gannon University and has been an Electrical Engineer since 1989. He currently holds three patents (two pending), on thermal management-EMI/RFI shielding devices. He has written numerous technical papers on electromagnetic shielding components, shielding product enhancement, and the development of test specifications and procedures for antenna and radome measurements. He currently serves as Chairman of the newly formed Pittsburgh EMC Chapter, Vice Chairman of the SAE AE4 Electromagnetic Compatibility Committee, and member of the IEEE EMC Standards Advisory Coordination Committee (SACCom).
