| | January 2004 Meeting Notice | | When/Where: |  - PRESENTATION | | Tuesday, January 13th, 2004. | | Topic/Speaker: | | "Time Domain Reflectometry for EMI Analysis and Troubleshooting" - Orin Laney, Kaiser Electronics, Inc. | | Details: | [ TOP ] | | Signal integrity problems are often the root of EMI problems. Time domain reflectometry is a powerful way to view transmission systems in order to spot and diagnose signal integrity issues. The talk will start with TDR theory, then use a live TDR demonstration to illustrate various principles. Examples will include coax, waveguide, microstrip, LAN cable, and perhaps an antenna or two. As time permits, cables and adapters will be accepted from the audience and tested in real-time, preferably ones that you suspect have problems. Remarks concerning the care and handling of microwave rate bit streams and similar challenges will conclude the talk.
About the Presenter:
Orin Laney is an EMC and Signal Integrity Specialist at Kaiser Electronics in San Jose. This division of Rockwell Collins manufactures video displays for aircraft cockpits. Orin's background includes designing really strange aerospace instrumentation, running his own manufacturing company, and providing a type of special effect for Hollywood production use. He enjoys writing and speaking, and is fluent in video circuitry and other high speed analog and mixed signal areas. A senior member of the IEEE and a NARTE certified EMC engineer, Mr. Laney is a graduate of the University of Maryland (BSEE) and Brigham Young University (MBA). He is a member and former chair of the IEEE Intellectual Property Committee. His interest in electronics began as a teenager when he started building crystal radios. His introduction to EMC came when he realized that his long suffering reel-to-reel tape recorder did an excellent job of receiving the 11+ MHz Caribbean relay transmitter for Radio Netherlands after sundown. That opened up a line of inquiry that continues to this day. | | | |
| | February 2004 Meeting Notice | | When/Where: | - PRESENTATION | | Tuesday, February 10th, 2004. | | Topic/Speaker: | | "Signal Detection with EMI receivers" - Werner Schaefer, Cisco Systems, Inc. | | | Details: | [ TOP ] | | Mr. Schaefer will discuss how the sweep time settings for a scanning receiver or the dwell time for a stepping receiver will affect the probability of intercept of broadband and narrow-band signals. An interpretation of the expected test results on the receiver display is also provided, together with an explanation of the limitations of test equipment. The impact of frequency versus receiver display resolution on signal detection is explained as well as the available receiver display detection modes and their appropriate use and limitations. In addition, the different receiver IF detectors, per CISPR 16-1-1, are presented and their hardware implementation, purpose and correct use are explained. Some EMI receiver specifications, as contained in CISPR 16-1-1 are discussed at the end of the presentation. This will also include a discussion of specifications like dynamic range and IF bandwidth specifications which are not called out in the standard. About the Presenter:
Werner Schaefer is a quality manager and senior compliance engineer at Cisco Systems' Corporate Compliance Center in San Jose, CA. He has 19 years of EMC experience, including EMI test system and software design, EMI test method development and EMI standards development. He currently is the secretary
of CISPR/A, the chairman of CISPR/A/WG1 and a member of CISPR/A/WG2 and CISPR/H, ANSI C63, SC1/3/6, and serves as an A2LA lead assessor for EMI and wireless testing and RF/microwave calibration laboratories.
He is also a NARTE certified EMC engineer and a RAB certified quality systems lead auditor. | | | |
| | March 2004 Meeting Notice | | When/Where: | - PRESENTATION | | Tuesday, March 9th, 2004. | | Topic/Speaker: | | "China Product Conformity Assessment - the Issues Foreign Companies are facing in China Market"
- Leslie Bai, SIEMIC,Inc. | | Details: | [ TOP ] | | - This presentation will start from the introduction of the China Product Assessment System, the history, present certification systems and predictable evolvement. The introduction will cover four major China Certification Systems (CCC, NAL, RTA, and MPS) currently administered under different government agencies. The presentation will address the issues foreign companies are facing in the China market. At time permits, three recently hot topics will be covered as well, a) China GB Standards for WLAN and its implementation of WLAN product certification; b) China's government position and current status of SAR (Specific Energy Absorption Rate) from "October Guilin Conference"; c) the new Chinese GB Standards Working Group on RFID.
About the Presenter:
Leslie Bai is the Director of Certification at SIEMIC, Inc, compliance testing and global certification facilities in USA and China. Leslie has over 15 years experience in Regulatory Affairs, Design for EMC/RF Compliance, Compliance testing, report and global certifications. As NARTE Certified EMC Engineer, Mr.Bai graduated (BSEE/MSEE) from Nanjing University in 1987. He can be reached at [email protected]. | | | |
| | April 2004 Meeting Notice | | When/Where: | - PRESENTATION | | Tuesday, April 13th, 2004. | | Topic/Speaker: | | "EMC Testing of Substation Products " - Jerry Ramie of ARC Technical Resources, Inc. | | Details: | [ TOP ] | | The Presentation, "EMC Testing of Substation Products," concerns the EMC testing requirements for products that are installed in Power Generation or Substation plants here in the US or in Europe. The EMC Standards for Substations are discussed and their similarities are pointed out. The relationship between EMC and resistance to Sabotage is explored, with examples and recommendations for Power Providers. A fuller view of the testing requirements for Protective Relays is presented, and a run-down of the required tests for them is given.. The future growth potential of utility products is very bright and these tests will be run more often than in the past. Many manufacturers will need to become acquainted with these Standards to access this growing market. Their products will be evaluated using these types of tests and the reliability of the finished Utility installation will be affected by how well their products perform on these tests. About the Presenter:
The speaker is Jerry Ramie of ARC Technical Resources, Inc., a 24 year veteran of the Regulatory Compliance, EMC, and RF/Microwave instrumentation businesses. Since 1979 Jerry has worked in EMC Equipment sales and Consultancy here in the West. He received the IEEE - EMC Society Recognition award for 1997-1998 from the Santa Clara Valley section for his work on the Board and is a member of the dB Society.

| | May 2004 Meeting Notice | | When/Where: | - PRESENTATION | | Tuesday, May 11th, 2004. | | Topic/Speaker: | | "EMI Considerations in Selection of Ethernet Magnetics" - Neven Pischl of Broadcom Corporation | | Details: | [ TOP ] | | Ethernet devices use magnetics between the transceiver and Ethernet cable. Magnetics include center-tapped transformers, autotransformers, and common-mode chokes. Newer Ethernet devices use magnetics to provide 48V power. Integrated connectors, with built-in magnetics, are gaining popularity. The characteristics of these components are critical for EMI suppression. It is completely impossible to judge the EMI characteristics from information currently available in the magnetics data sheets. Magnetics EMI properties can be measured with a network analyzer on a 50 ohm test jig, but it should be kept in mind that the system-level performance may differ. Magnetics cannot be completely characterized without knowing the system characteristics. Also, test results depend on the test methods that are not yet standardized. The presentation explains the main factors that define EMI properties of Ethernet magnetics, in commonly used configurations. A bench-level test method for magnetics characterization is described, and a demonstration will be given. The focus will be on Ethernet magnetics, but the concepts apply generally to WAN and LAN magnetics.
About the Presenter:
Neven Pischl has 19 years of EMC and related experience in R&D, Aerospace, Consumer Electronics, and ITE, covering many areas of EMC compliance and high-speed design. He holds an MSEE degree, specialized in microwave measurements, NARTE EMC-Engineer certification, and two US patents related to differential signaling.
