Public Seminar Schedule

We’ll continue to work on our 2018 public seminar schedule throughout the year. Please check here for the latest updates. Of course, I'm available to book your in-house seminars as you require! All attendees of the in-house seminars get a free copy of EMI Troubleshooting Cookbook for Product Designers!

NEW On-Line On-Demand Training!


EMC Troubleshooting and Precompliance Testing For Product Designers (On-Line Learning on Demand)
Hosted by EMC FastPass >>> Click here to for more information and to register!

Details: Price $995. Includes six lessons totaling 5-1/2 intensive hours of material, downloadable seminar notes, seven video demos, personal help and coaching via email for one year.

Course Description: This seminar covers the basics of EMC design and how to correct typical design issues, simple pre-compliance bench top measurement methods, and includes a number of simple techniques and tools useful in characterizing designs at various stages of development that will better prepare products for EMC qualification.

The presentation will also include video demonstrations of many of the basic principles. Finally, several case studies will also be described. Homework includes making simple probes, tools, and measurement projects. The focus will be on the top three EMI issues for most products: radiated emissions, radiated immunity, and ESD.

Lesson 1: Introduction to EMC, EMI & troubleshooting philosophy
Lesson 2: Important EMC product design concepts
Lesson 3: Radiated emissions testing (part 1)
Lesson 4: Radiated emissions testing (part 2)
Lesson 5: Immunity testing (radiated, conducted, EFT, surge)
Lesson 6: ESD testing

Live Training (Longmont, Colorado)!


“EMC Essentials” Product Design for EMC, Precompliance Testing, & Troubleshooting Workshop (2 days) - Longmont, CO, Date: 2019 dates to be determined
Hosted by NTS, 1601 Dry Creek Drive, Suite 2000, Longmont, CO 80503 (new environmental test center)

Details: Price $1,295. Includes seminar notes, lunch and snacks. Early bird discount...see flyer.

Day 1: EMC Theory (Part 1) - Attendees will be introduced to basic EMC theory; units of measurement, time and frequency domain, differential and common mode currents, radiated emissions, ESD, PC board layout and shielding/bonding. Day 1 is crucial to understanding the Day 2 presentation, as it will also include demonstrations of many of the basic principles.

Day 2: EMC Theory (Part 2), plus Bench Top Measurements and Troubleshooting - We’ll continue with ESD and system design, followed up with practical tools and techniques that can be used for pre-compliance measurements as well as troubleshooting EMC problems in a more formal setting. We’ll demonstrate several probing and analysis techniques that will identify EMC issues quickly. Several case studies will also be described.
