Electromagnetic Compatibly is a key ingredient of achieving Zero Downtime. EMC issues can cause untold complications in electrical and electronic equipment. Susceptibility issues start at the component level and continue throughout the system design and development. Finally, the ultimate Downtime issue is not being able to place the product onto the market because it does not meet its mandatory EMC requirements.

This workshop will discuss the legislation, basics of EMC, practical examples and design considerations to achieve the necessary EMC for your product to operate as intended and be able to go to market.

Following is a brief agenda:
• BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO LAIRD TECHNOLOGIES
• OVERVIEW OF EMI/RFI/EMC PROBLEM
• FCC UPDATE
• EUROPEAN EMC DIRECTIVE
• CHINA’S CCC CERTIFICATION
• SYSTEMS DESIGN
• PCB/CABLE DESIGN PRACTICES
• PCB/EQUIPMENT SHIELDING
• RF SHIELDING MATERIALS
• REFERENCES

After the Workshop there will be an open session where attendees may bring up specific questions and applications. You may have drawings or even actual products for which we can work on solutions.
