Since the premise of EMC is, thou shalt not bother other electronics and thou shalt not be bothered by other electronics, show THAT effect using common items of use: cellphone, telephone, TV monitor, etc [Doesn't have to b just radiated could also be conducted.]
And then show them how the Test Lab measures/quantifies these two relationships, which enables CONTROL ...and your 5 minutes are up, hopefully within their minds are lasting/useful images [creating deep pockets]. --- [email protected] wrote: From: Robert Heller <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] EMC Demonstration List-Post: [email protected] Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:47:38 -0500 I have been tasked with the opportunity to provide a short EMC demonstration for non-EMC people. I am having some difficulty coming up with something and I wonder if anyone else has been in this situation in the past. The demo and talk should be about 5 minutes. The basic premise is 'what does an EMC facility do and why do they do it'? I though what I might do is set up an antenna and receiver and show the ambients the need protection: radio, TV, fire, police, cell phones, etc. Then I thought about using a piece of equipment and a hand probe and show the various frequencies coming off the equipment that may interfere with these services and in general terms talk about the various means of reducing this energy to acceptable limits. I really don't have time to "teach" anything and I don't want to get into immunity. Anyone been there before? I would appreciate any suggestions.
