Welcome to the Central Texas Chapter of the IEEE EMC Society.
As part of the Central Texas Section of the IEEE, our chapter is open to those interested in the field of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) design, test, and certification. This web site provides Chapter and Society news, Chapter meeting information, details of relevant conferences, local job openings and links to other sites of interest.
Upcoming Events
∞ The Chapter will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, May 23rd. Dan Hoolihan, of Hoolihan EMC Consulting, will speak on the topic of “Radiated Emisisons Testing at 3 Meters and 10 Meters – New Developments in Standards”. Dan will compare three and ten meter radiated emission measurements for commercial electronic equipment. A technical, and slightly historical, comparison the of the technical differences between the two popular horizontal measurement distances will be made. Recent developments in the International Standards arena (CISPR32, CISPR 11) and their impact on the 3/10 meter issue will also be highlighted. Dan is a past president of the EMC Society, a member of ANSI C63, and an experienced EMC educator. This topic of particilar interest due to the cost difference bewteen a 3 meter chamber and a 10 meter chamber. Please join us for this informative meeting.
∞ The Chapter will hold a meetign in June where Joe Tannehill, fo ETS-Lindgren, will speak on this topic of “Using simulated instruments to develop and edit automated EMC test procedures”. More details to follow.
