Reproducibility of Radiated Emissions Test Data Lowell Kolb Hewlett-Packard Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Location: Front Range Community College, Room L107 (see map), 3645 W. 112th Ave., Westminster, CO. Directions maybe found at: http://www.frontrange.edu/FRCCTemplates/FRCC7.aspx?id=109. Room Location Map (pdf) Time: 6:30 p.m. social, 7:00 p.m. presentation. Abstract: Necessity was the mother of site-to-site reproducibility evaluation for radiated emissions testing. In the 1980's, H-P had products that were being cooperatively developed and tested in Colorado and California. When the inevitable happened, and two test facilities gave conflicting test results, we were forced to figure out whether the differences were due to the test facilities or other causes. This led to a reproducibility program that is going strong today, with 30+ participating sites, H-P and non-H-P, around the world. This presentation will discuss what we learned about radiated and conducted emissions reproducibility, and how we got where we are. Biography: Lowell Kolb holds BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, 1974 and 1975, respectively. He has been employed by Hewlett-Packard company in Loveland and then Fort Collins, Colorado, continuously since January of 1975, with various positions in research and development, quality assurance, and manufacturing, starting with desktop computers, which evolved into workstations. He has been focusing almost exclusively on electromagnetic compatibility for the past 20 years, and is currently an EMC engineer in the hardware test center. Lowell holds seven patents, all of which are EMC-related. Please send your RSVP for both the pizza social and the chapter meeting to Chuck Still (Sun Microsystems, electronstill@comcast.net).

Civilian & Military Standards Testing: What's in Common, What's Different and What Testing Should be Done to Make the Best Products? Mr. Vincent Greb EMC Integrity, Inc. Tuesday, September 30, 2008 Location: Front Range Community College, Room L107 (see map), 3645 W. 112th Ave., Westminster, CO. Directions maybe found at: http://www.frontrange.edu/FRCCTemplates/FRCC7.aspx?id=109. Room Location Map (pdf) Time: 6:30 p.m. social, 7:00 p.m. presentation. Abstract: Mr. Greb will present a comparison between commercial EMC test requirements and MIL-STD requirements. His comparison will include test levels and test methods, highlighting the differences between the two environments. In particular, his presentation will focus on the differences between EN 55022/24 and MIL-STD-461E requirements. He will touch on some of the design implications associated with the different test environments and will also highlight some of the new requirements of MIL-STD-461F. Bio: Vincent W. Greb has a strong background in both commercial and military EMC design and testing. He has worked as an independent consultant since 1994, performing EMC design, testing, trouble-shooting and mitigation for electronics ranging from board-level to complete satellites. Mr. Greb is President and founder of EMC Integrity, Inc, a fully-accredited electromagnetic interference and compatibility test laboratory. He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. *Please send your RSVP for both the pizza social and the chapter meeting to Chuck Still (Sun Microsystems,* electronstill@comcast.net).
