EMC Professional Talk: 40+Years in EMC and related Areas – Lessons Learned! – Dr. Diethard E. A. Hansen EURO EMC SERVICE (EES) Dr. Hansen Consulting, Berikon AG (near Zurich), Switzerland Abstract: Lots of progress has been made away from the early image "EMC=back magic". Global EMC today is ever more important but also somehow tricky in several ways. There is, however, still, and in various areas, an unfortunate lag of committing to more applied research. Consequently, costly imperfections and legal issues continue to arise from e.g. some (CE) standards/test procedures. Why is corporate EMC management so different in SMEs and large Corporations? Join a time-witness journey through Electromagnetics, starting with NEMP to EMC and related areas. Professional activities: Employee/Entrepreneur, various Industries, Researcher and Free-Lance Consultant. Satisfaction and risks in founding R&D- Labs, running/auditing Test-Labs and Product Certification Bodies. Advising/organizing, performing international technology transfer (GTEM) and experiencing "real world" in international standardization will be briefly discussed.   For further information, pleas see event page: ieee_german_emc_chapter_professional_talk_Diethard_Hansen_v2.pdf

Distinguished Lecture “Well Stirred is Half Measured – EMC Tests in Reverberation Chambers” Dr. Mathias Magdowski Scientific co-worker, Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany 20. Juni 2024, 16:00 -17:00 Uhr (4:00 p.m. UTC+2, Berlin Time) Event Details

Trends in modern wireless communications, including the use of massive MIMO and millimeter wave frequencies, have supported an increased deployment of electrically large antennas. This created technical and economic challenges as many EMC, or regulatory tests require a far-field condition. This talk provides an overview of the recent findings in defining the shortest possible far-field test distance, depending on the size of the device under test, its operation frequency, the target metric, and the upper bound acceptable measurement deviation. Practical ways are also described to determine the maximum antenna aperture size that can be tested in the far-field at a given frequency and for a maximum error, in an existing chamber with a defined range length.   Register by June 14th! https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/de/loesungen/test-and-measurement/events/ieee-emc-german-chapter_257328.html

To accommodate technological progress, radiated emission and susceptibility testing must expand from 18 GHz to 40-44 GHz. Broadband antennas at these frequencies usually offer high gain at the expense of narrowing of radiation beam width. This presentation introduces a modular antenna with an adaptable radiation pattern tailored to each application and suitable for a wide frequency range. Essential system-level calculations, including minimum detectable electric field strength for EMI and sufficient RF amplifier power for EMS, will be discussed for this testing.
