Everyone
Here are the details of our next IEEE United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland EMC Chapter meeting. This is our main event of the year, with some excellent speakers and the opportunity to visit the museum after the meeting. There is no charge, but please note the requirement to register with Roy Ediss prior to the event. I hope to see many of you there. Slides from the last meeting are available at http://www.ieee.org.uk/emc.html where some slides from previous meetings may also be found.

Attendees are free to look around the site from 14:30 Information available on speakers and talks: Measurement methods for emission above 1 GHz. Martin Alexander, NPL. An increasing number of EMC standards now include requirements above 1 GHz. Deficiencies have been identified in the current test method specified in the basic standards CISPR 16 and EN 55016. A revision is currently in progress, treading a difficult path between time and cost of testing, and the need for meaningful measurements, based on sound methodology. A new committee draft of the revision to the standards will be available shortly. Martin, who is a leading light in this work, will describe the latest position and the implications for laboratories and industry. >From 1974 to 1988 Martin worked for the Antenna Division of the GEC-Marconi Research Centre designing transmission line components and antennas. Since 1988 he has worked for NPL where he designed and developed a facility for the calibration of dipole and monopole antennas in the frequency range 30 Hz to 5 GHz. This broke new ground with uncertainties as low as ± 0.1 dB achievable for the gain of omni-directional VHF and UHF antennas. He is an active member of CISPR/A. His current interests are 1) reducing the uncertainty of the evaluation of EMC test sites by championing the reference site method in CISPR, 2) developing measurement methods to reduce the uncertainties of emission measurements above 1 GHz, 3) commissioning RF-optical components and developing methods to make non-invasive measurements of antennas and of field distributions. Ayhan Günsaya is the head of EMC in Ford of Europe and is based in the United Kingdom. He graduated from the Middlesex University with a first class BEng degree in electronics engineering and management and subsequently completed an MSc in electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency communications at the University of York. He has worked in the field of automotive EMC since joining Ford Motor Company in 1996 and has been involved in various aspects of this disciple from component level design for EMC and testing to vehicle level standards development and legal certification. Mr Gunsaya is a member of the Automotive EMC laboratory Accreditation Program (AEMCLRP) and leads laboratory recognitions in Europe. He also represents Ford Motor Company in UK and European legislative forums and participated in the development of 2004/104/EC EMC development over the last 40 years. Tony Maddocks. In the sixties and seventies the main interests in commercial EMC were associated with emissions >from motor vehicle ignition circuits, appliances in the home having commutator motors, and the early triac controls in lamp dimmers. Commercial computers needed to be able to withstand transient and surge disturbances on the mains supply and considerable work was done to ensure reliability in computer installations and many of the measurement and assessment principles developed internationally at the time are still is use today. The introduction of microprocessor devices in the 1980s made a big difference in that the interference from transients, surges and rf fields and ESD could result in total failure of large building central heating control systems. The IEC 801 series of immunity standards was introduced and practical performance was achieved, but with more assessment and approval required at the prototype stage of the development. There was later expansion to cover the seven major phenomena that need to be considered for immunity and with the practical introduction of the EMC Directive in 1996 the markets for acceptable products were expanded. Tony started with research and then moved into product testing and consultation, and will recollect some of his experiences over the years. The event is an open meeting. All welcome. There is no charge for meeting attendance.
