Information available on presentations and speakers: The challenges of meeting future HIRF test requirements. G Barber, DEW &E3 Group, QinetiQ, Farnborough. This presentation covers the challenges of performing HIRF testing on aircraft platforms over the frequency range 1 MHz -18 GHz, employing both Low Level and High Level test techniques. Based on the increase in the EM environment and requirements to test to wider pulse widths, this presentation covers enhancements in test capabilities and discusses alternative methods for meeting these requirements. Biography:- Gavin is the Capability Leader of the HIRF Group which is part of the DEW and E3 Capability based at QinetiQ, Farnborough. Gavin has been involved in EMC Consultancy and specifically aircraft HIRF test development for over 20 years. He has presented at many UK and overseas seminars and conferences (IET/IEEE) and worked on the development of both aircraft Direct Current Injection (DCI) methods and the development of the Farnborough based reverberation chamber capability. Gavin also developed experience in EMC design and worldwide commercial approvals working within the ITE sector for 5 years. Currently he is leading a team at QinetiQ Farnborough developing improved HIRF test methods, enhancing capabilities and working with many commercial and military aircraft platform manufacturers, providing both consultancy and test capabilities. Electrostatic discharges in the real world. Dr Jeremy Smallwood CEng CPhys MIET FInstP Dr Jeremy Smallwood explores some ways in which electrostatic discharges (ESD) arise in the real world. He uses simple electronic models to explain electrostatic charging and discharging leading to ESD, as well as the characteristics of the ESD waveform that can lead to conducted and radiated EMI. His live demonstrations show how static electricity arises and behaves using everyday materials and people as subjects, and he shows live ESD current waveforms from charged people and objects. He discusses some examples from his experience to show how electronic systems can be subjected to unexpectedly severe ESD in practical situations. Jeremy started his career as an electronics design engineer before accepting a Research Fellowship at the University of Southampton, where he gained his PhD researching measurement of electrostatic discharge (ESD) ignition of pyrotechnic materials. He later worked at ERA Technology Ltd. on electrostatics R&D projects and consultancy. He started Electrostatic Solutions Ltd in 1998, specialising in ESD advisory services, R&D and training to the electronics industry, electrostatic hazards avoidance, and electrostatic applications development. Jeremy has over 40 publications in the fields of electrostatics, ESD ignition hazards and ESD prevention. He contributes to British Standards panels on handling of electrostatic sensitive devices and control of undesirable static electricity. From 2000 to 2012 he was been Chairman of International Electrotechnical Commission Technical Committee 101 (Electrostatics) responsible for IEC standards in electrostatics. Predicting conducted emissions from power switching converters. Tim Williams, Elmac Services Power switching circuits inevitably create HF emissions which must be controlled. Identifying the paths for coupling out of the product, and implementing a circuit model that allows for all the relevant parasitics in these paths, allows this to be achieved in the most cost-effective way. This presentation will describe a simple example and will show the good correlation between model and reality that can be found. Tim Williams is with Elmac Services, providing design and testing consultancy on all aspects of EMC. He is the author of "EMC for Product Designers", now in its fourth edition. Multimedia EMC Standards - All change? Nick Wainwright, York EMC Services. Once upon a time a TV was a TV, a PC was a PC and never the twain shall meet. There were standards for TVs and standards for PCs. Today a TV connects to the internet and a PC can be used to watch TV but until recently we still had the same standards. CISPR 32, the first of the multimedia EMC standards, has been published so what does this mean for manufacturers? Nick Wainwright explains. Nick Wainwright has been in the regulatory industry all his working life. He moved to York Electronics Centre (the forerunner of York EMC Services) in 1990 as an EMC Test Engineer and since then he has held just about every engineering and management position within the company. In March this year he became Chief Executive. Nick has an Honours Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and an MSc in EMC. During that time YES has grown from having a small unaccredited test laboratory on the University of York campus to having UK wide coverage from three UKAS accredited laboratories in Castleford, West Yorkshire, Dalgety Bay, Fife and Yate, South Gloucestershire offering EMC and electrical safety. It now has thriving training, consultancy and Products business streams. The event is an open meeting, with all welcome. There is no charge for meeting attendance. 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 or affiliation, (if applicable), Book early for the afternoon meeting to avoid disappointment.
