high power testing of automotive components.

SILENT Solutions/Lee Hill

Lee Hill of SILENT will present a number of demonstrations of electromagnetic shielding applications for electronic product design. Each demonstration will be accompanied by a discussion of the underlying math and physics, as well as some commonly-held engineering assumptions. The demonstrations will include cavity resonances in simple product enclosures, imperfect cable shield terminations, pitfalls of common retrofit techniques, and the characterization of the intrinsic shielding performance of materials.

Optimizing MIL-STD 461 and CISPR Testing Using Test Receivers and FFT Detectors: The topics presented will include the improving accuracy, measurement time and documentation in performing all types of emissions testing. Real life examples and demonstration’s of how tests are properly setup and performed. Display how the use of the FFT detector can decrease long measurement and improve tests time without sacrificing overall accuracy. Detailed description and demonstration of the new CISPR-Average detector and how it will affect future commercial emissions testing. Also included a step by step description of test tools to automate and document normalized site attenuation. Measurement uncertainty and sensitivity of entire emissions test system will also be discussed. This presentation will concentrate on real life examples and displays of actual setups encountered while doing performing emissions testing.
