Keynote: EMC Standards and the Trends in Changes to These Standards

Speaker: Asad Bajwa, EMC Lab Director, Keysight Technologies

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a critical consideration in the design and testing of electronic devices, especially with the proliferation of wireless communications and digital technologies. This presentation will address EMC design challenges, including an overview of EMC standards and the trends in changes to these standards. The presentation will also explore the implications of changing EMC standards on OEMs, as well as the testing challenges that arise as a result of these changes. The presentation will also highlight why EMC is particularly critical for the automotive industry and discuss some of the unique challenges and considerations that must be taken into account when designing and testing electronic components for automotive applications. Overall, this presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of EMC, its importance in the development of electronic devices, and the challenges and opportunities that arise as a result of changes to EMC standards.

10:30 a.m.

Reduce EMI in Switched-Mode Power Supplies Design

Speaker: Uday Ramalingam, R&D Engineer, Keysight Technologies

Switched-mode power supply (SMPS) design is rapidly evolving with the emergence of wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power devices. Higher switching speeds together with the layout of a printed circuit board (PCB) can become a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI). This challenge frustrates many power electronics designers. To overcome this challenge, a designer needs to identify potential EMI problems in simulation. Until now, this requires expertise in electromagnetics. In this seminar, we will discuss how to overcome this challenge.

Keysight has partnership with IPERA to introduce a curriculum around conducted EMI and its effects on SMPS design.

12:00 p.m.

Innovation Measurements and Counter Measurement Improvement, ATD-Scan and AI Powered Debugging

Speaker: Enri Nuraj, Application Engineer, TOYOTech

Learn about the common EMC measurement challenges and discover features and methods to resolve them and increase your productivity. Topics include:

Traditional measurement methods and their limitations.
What are the new features of the latest EMI receiver – Keysight PXE.
Perform emission measurements using real EUT and see how they differ from conventional measuring instruments.
AI-powered EMI Countermeasure.

Not Your Ordinary Presentation: Go Interactive With the Latest EMC Test Scenarios

Speaker: Nori "Nick" Sugiwara, VP of EMC Sales, TOYOTech

Join our lively and interactive session and stay ahead of the curve with the latest EMC test scenarios. Show off your knowledge and expertise to your industry peers as we present four modern test cases through visually engaging images and graphics. Be the first to correctly identify and describe each case and receive both the admiration of your peers and an Amazon gift card. We’ll dive deeper into the technical aspects of each case after identification. Don't miss out on this chance to demonstrate your skills and keep up-to-date with EMC testing.

1:40 p.m.

EMC Pre-Compliance Test - Do I need it?

Steve Narciso, Solution Architect, Keysight Technologies

To ensure safe operation, and to guarantee quality and accuracy, compliance testing is necessary to sell your device. A compliance test failure can delay produce introduction and add unplanned development expense. Pre-compliance testing allows you to cost-effectively reduce your time to market by maximizing the success your product passing final compliance testing.

2:20 p.m.

Basics of EMC Countermeasures

Presented by: Buachuen Ekkapon (Eric), Kitagawa Industries

This presentation covers the basics on how to effectively apply countermeasures for filtering, grounding, and shielding, which are important for EMC test.

3:00 p.m.
