Identify, Characterize, and Prevent Electromagnetic Interference Problems - Beginning April 4
 Join this highly focused one-day seminar and learn how to uncover,
characterize, and solve the most elusive EMI problems. Troubleshooting and localizing intermittent signals
or multiple layers of broadband and narrowband signals can be frustrating even for the most seasoned
EMC troubleshooter and RF engineer. We will discuss and demonstrate a number of test setups that
can help the root causes of EMC test failures and then demonstrate how real-time analysis can literally
make previously-hidden signals leap into plain view.
This seminar is intended for engineers and technicians involved in the development, troubleshooting,
pre-compliance testing and certification of electronic products, systems and assemblies for EMC.
AM Session:
Practical RF measurement techniques & probing tools for EMC troubleshooting
This session will share the secrets to uncovering the most elusive EMI problems. We will discuss
and demonstrate a number of noise injectors, near-field probes, current probes, voltage probes, as well
as their theory of operation. You won't want to miss this practical session packed with recommendations
on practical tools and techniques.
How to make good, fast, repeatable & compliant EMC measurements in the 21st Century
The industry acceptance of Time Domain Scan continues to widen the capability gap between typical
Spectrum Analyzers and EMC Receivers. The various differentiators will be discussed including
how the Receiver user interface eliminates numerous opportunities for configuration errors, how Time
Domain Scan not only significantly reduces test time but also great enhances the ability to properly
characterize intermittent signals, and the value of pre-selection in reducing the opportunity for invalid
results when characterizing either higher power or impulsive signals.
PM Session:
Using real-time spectral analysis to visualize, measure, and troubleshoot EMI signals
Troubleshooting and localizing intermittent signals or multiple layers of broadband and narrowband
signals can be frustrating even for the most seasoned EMC troubleshooter or RF engineer. In this presentation
we will discuss the capabilities of different types of spectral analysis technologies, and then demonstrate
how real-time analysis can literally make previously-hidden signals leap into plain view. This session
will include live, real-time measurements of intermittent, broadband, and narrowband sources such as
switching power supplies, PWM motor drives, digital peripherals, as well as Bluetooth and class D audio
amplifiers. Even If you have already heard or read about real-time spectral analysis, this is
a great chance to see, in person, why engineers say out loud, "wow, did you see that?" when watching
it for the first time.
