NEW! “EMC Essentials - Intensive”
(2 hours/day for 3 days)
USA/EU: Dates TBD (2-hour sessions each day, from 9:00 to 11:00 AM MST)
APAC/India: Dates TBD (2-hour sessions each day, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM MST)
Note for APAC region, the sessions are scheduled for your morning/evening hours (depending on time zone) the next day.
Hosted by Wyatt Technical Services LLC

Course Details: Price $695. Includes seminar notes (PDF). All sessions will be pre-recorded for later viewing by registered participants. The focus of the course will be product design for compliance, EMC troubleshooting and performing simple characterization and pre-compliance testing at the work bench level for the top three EMC issues that usually crop up; radiated emissions, radiated immunity, electrostatic discharge. Other failure issues will be mentioned briefly. In addition, we’ll discuss the issue of receiver desense due to self-generated EMI in wireless/IoT devices. Live demos included. Each session will be extended, as required, for detailed Q&A.

Participants will come away with a basic understanding of EMC principles, how to design products to comply, bench-level troubleshooting techniques and ways to lower the risk of compliance failures by performing simple in0house pre-compliance testing.

Course Content: An increasing number of manufacturers are adding or retrofitting wireless technology into new or existing products. These products typically include mobile, household, industrial, scientific, and medical devices. This transition is ongoing exponentially and with it comes problems with EMI. That is, EMI generated on the board itself interfering with sensitive on-board cellular, GPS/GNSS, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth receivers. This is called “platform" or self-interference and it’s become a big problem for manufacturers. This webinar will discuss methods for characterizing this self-generated EMI and suggest several potential mitigations. Topics will include Basic CTIA requirements for cellular receiver sensitivity, coupling mechanisms, PC board design for low EMI, characterization measurements of EMI, and ten mitigation methods for reducing self-generated EMI.
