EMC UK 2018 Training Conference
Tuesday 25th September 2018 Training
Registration & Refreshments 08.30.
Session One 09.00 to 10.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... Shielding
Keith Armstrong
Shielding is the complementary part to filtering and transient suppression, and in 2018 has to deal with many GHz. We no longer always need metal or metallised plastic boxes: modern shielding can often be small, light, low cost and – if needed at all – can be simply a part that is assembled on the PCB.
10.30 to 11.00 Refreshments in the Exhibition Hub & Exhibition Visit
Session Two 11.00 to 12.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... Filtering and suppression
Tim Williams
Filtering is the complementary part of shielding. Supply, analogue and digital I/O interfaces have different requirements for filtering and transient suppression and we cover the relevant design principles for choosing the right configuration in each case.
12.30 to 14.00 Lunch in the Exhibition Hub & Exhibition Visit
Session Three 14.00 to 15.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... PCB layout for EMC
Keith Armstrong
The most cost-effective place to avoid EMC problems is in the PCB, but good PCB layout for EMC changes more rapidly than any other aspect of good EMC engineering, and in 2018 has to deal with many GHz. If PCB EMC design practices haven’t been reviewed against the state of the art since 2014 or 2015, it is important that we do so now.
Wednesday 26th September 2018 Training
Registration & Refreshments 08.30.
Session One 09.00 to 10.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... EMC compliance tests
Tim Williams
When our product goes to a test house it will be put through a series of EMC tests.
We describe each of the major emissions and immunity tests, and what they mean for design.
10.30 to 11.00 Refreshments in the Exhibition Hub & Exhibition Visit
Session Two 11.00 to 12.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... EMC pre-compliance testing
Keith Armstrong
Before we send a product to an EMC Test House (if we do, it’s not mandatory for the EU) we should already know it is likely to pass. Modern low-cost test instruments help save huge amounts of time and money, and some of them will be shown doing exactly that.
12.30 to 14.00 Lunch in the Exhibition Hub & Exhibition Visit
Session Three 14.00 to 15.30
Everything we need to know in 2018 about... Cabling practices for EMC
Tim Williams
Cables are a major coupling route for interference into and out of a product. We discuss the trade-offs that must be made in the choice between screened and unscreened cables, and show the important constructional and termination aspects in the use of screened cables.
EMC UK 2018 Technical Conference
It is with regret that due to the lack of bookings we are unable to proceed with the Technical conference, the Training conference is still going ahead.
