Agenda 13:30 Welcome - Brian Jones, EMC Chapter Chair 13.35 Intentional Electromagnetic Interference Effects in CyberPhysical Systems - John Dawson, University of York 14.15 Topics and trends in ESD control in 2016 - Dr Jeremy Smallwood, Electrostatic Solutions Ltd. 15.00 Break 15.20 Calibration of PFD probes in non-sinusoidal fields. Ralf Mouthaan, National Physical Laboratory. 16.00 Trials and tribulations of the Radio Equipment Directive - changing requirements for broadcast receivers and related matters - Brian Copsey, Copsey Communications Consultants 16.45 Meeting closes Papers abstracts Intentional Electromagnetic Interference Effects in CyberPhysical Systems This talk gives an overview of the possible effects of Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) on Cyber-Physical systems. Examples of a range of attacks and possible countermeasures are presented. Topics and trends in ESD control in 2016 The field of ESD control might seem to the casual observer to be - well, "static"! Not so - Jeremy takes a brief look at the 61340-5-1 ESD control standard for electronics manufacture and the thinking behind changes that will come in with a new 2016 version. He takes a look at the activities of the Industry Council on ESD Target Levels and trend in increasing susceptibility of ESD sensitive electronic devices. There has been confusion in the industry over the relationship between component ESD susceptibility and system susceptibility to ESD during operation, leading to the Ind. Co. White Paper 3 and concept of System Efficient ESD Design (SEED). Finally, Jeremy describes a new project on control of electrostatic threats in healthcare facilities, recently started in IEC TC101. Calibration of PFD probes in non-sinusoidal fields. Electromagnetic field probes are often used to demonstrate compliance with ICNIRP guidelines. A probe is calibrated against a continuous wave field, but is subsequently used to measure a variety of modulated and pulsed signals. Probes have previously been observed to under- or overestimate electromagnetic exposure in these harsher environments. This work focuses on the measurement of low frequency (< 100 kHz) fields that are commonly encountered in industrial, scientific and medical environments such as around welding machines and in the vicinity of MRI scanners. The periodic but non-sinusoidal structure of these waveforms present a unique set of challenges when quantifying the probe performance. The performance of a test probe is tested against a series of trapezoidal and more realistic waveforms, and it is concluded that the bandwidth alone may not be sufficient to determine whether a probe is suited to a particular set of measurements. Trials and tribulations of the Radio Equipment Directive - changing requirements for broadcast receivers and related matters On 13 June 2016 broadcast receiver move into the radio Equipment Directive. This means that Article 3.2 will apply for the first time "Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference". Brian will describe what has been happening on the standards front for TV receivers (and what has not, for radio receivers). Information on speakers Dr John Dawson BSc DPhil CEng MIET MIEEE John Started his career as an MOD apprentice in 1975 after which he gained his degree in Electronics and DPhil in HF communications at the University of York. Whilst undertaking his DPhil research he set up an industrial electronics consultancy designing custom industrial process control equipment, where he worked till his return to the University of York in 1988. Since returning to York he has worked in the Applied electromagnetics research group and as a consultant to York Electronics Centre, and York EMC Services as well as contributing to CPD courses and teaching a range of topics in electronics and EMC within the Department of Electronics to undergraduate and masters students. John has over 150 publications in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, and is a regular speaker at EMC workshops and conferences. He is an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on EMC and as member of the technical programme committee for EMC Europe and APEMC conferences. His research encompasses a wide range of EMC and related topics, including: shielding, reverberation chambers, emissions and circuit interactions, design for EMC, and computational electromagnetics. Dr Jeremy Smallwood BSc CEng MIET CPhys FInstP Jeremy spent seven years as an electronics designer before returning to Southampton University to complete his PhD researching electrostatic discharge (ESD) ignition of pyrotechnic materials. He later worked at ERA Technology Ltd. on electrostatics R&D projects and consultancy. In 1998 he started Electrostatic Solutions Ltd, specialising in training, consultancy, test and R&D for the electronics industry, electrostatic hazards avoidance, electrostatic materials measurement and applications development. Jeremy has over 50 publications in electrostatics, ESD ignition hazards and ESD control in the electronics industry. In 2010 he was awarded the ESD Association Industry Pioneer Recognition Award. He is a regular speaker at international conferences and workshops. He is active in British Standards panels on handling of electrostatic sensitive devices and control of undesirable static electricity. Between 2000 and 2012 he was Chairman of International Electrotechnical Commission Technical Committee 101 (Electrostatics) responsible for world standards in electrostatics, and continues to work as a UK expert delegate to this Committee. From 2013 - 2015 he held a part time post as Snr. Research Fellow at Southampton University High Voltage Group while maintaining his Electrostatic Solutions Ltd consulting, research and training activities. Ralf Mouthaan studied physics at the University of Nottingham and graduated in 2008. He has since worked at the UK's National Physical Laboratory as part of the Electromagnetic Technologies group. Ralf's work has focused on electromagnetic exposure metrology, developing and maintaining the UK's national standards in this area. He has contributed to calibration services for electromagnetic field probes, specific absorption rate probes, induced current clamps and MRI implant safety. Other interests have included dielectric measurements, pulse risetime measurements and implanted antennas. Brian Copsey Brian set up and managed ASP FM for 9 years, the first independent PMSE radio licensing organization for the UK Government. He has worked in ETSI and CEPT since 1991 and ITU in recent years. Within ETSI he chairs ETSI ERM TG 17 and TC safety. TG 17 generates standards for Broadcast TV and Radio equipment, all forms of PMSE and Assistive Listening Devices. EN 300 422 the major radio microphone standard has its roots in standards started in 1991.He is active in all CEPT and ITU groups which cover PMSE activities If you plan to attend you need to register by informing: Roy Ediss Email: roy.ed...@ieee.org For registration you will need to provide: Name, Company, (if applicable) Organised by the Chapter Officers and Committee Committee membership as from 1st Jan 2016, determined at the last EMC Society UK and Ireland Chapter AGM on 16th December 2015: Brian Jones, Chair Roy Ediss, Vice Chair Paul Vertannes, Secretary Roy Ediss, Treasurer, Events Coordinator Brian Jones, Presentation & Speaker Coordinator Alan Warner, Membership Secretary, External liaison Nick Hooper, Membership Development Officer Other committee members Hoon Siew Alistair Duffy - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
