Decoding EMC Test Failures: Dr. Karen Burnham to Speak on Unintentional Antennas
The IEEE EMC Society has announced its upcoming Distinguished Lecturer webinar for the Fall 2023 series. This insightful session, titled "Unintentional Antennas," is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15, 2023, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM EST.
Understanding EMC Test Failures:
One of the leading causes of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) test failures is the presence of radiating structures within a unit. These structures, whether originating from the PCB or cabling, often behave in ways that designers did not intend. The webinar aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of antenna theory and guide participants on identifying potential radiating "antennas" in their products.
