EMC in Product Development (Part 7)

This article . is a part of a series of texts that will deal with the EMC challenge in terms of project management and the practical EMC activities at different stages in the project flow.
Different companies all have their own way of describing their project flow, so to keep it simple we will use the labels as given in Figure 1. We can call it a generic project flow. The picture only describes the basic outline of the work packages. These articles will describe the actual practical work we want to do in the project to “make EMC work” in a time- and cost-efficient way. Each part of our series will fill in the details for each part piece by piece. This is the 7th part – The aftermath – in our process.

Ögat på: EMC i praktiken, del 4

Fall av bristande . EMC-egenskaper och möjliga åtgärder. I denna serie av artiklar tittar vi på lärorika fall från min erfarenhetsbank som elektronikkonstruktör av specialmaskiner för industriautomatisering. EMC måste tas om hand i alla delar, såväl på elektrisk som på mekanisk systemnivå och på alla nivåer i en utrustning, på ett systematisk och planerat sätt, annars…

HF 19 – Nordic Conference of HF Communications

A series of . Nordic conferences on HF communications was initiated in 1986 when HF 86 was held in Sweden. International interest in contributing with papers, exhibits and participants has grown, and the conference that initially was planned for a limited audience of Nordic countries has now an international acclaim.

Measuring wireless performance of vehicles

Wireless connectivity . in cars is becoming more and more important. The functionality of the cars depends on a reliable wireless communication, e.g., for safety systems, infotainment, traffic warnings and updates of software and maps. To ensure that the desired and required wireless communication is achieved, extensive testing needs to be performed. Today a lot of the testing is done with drive-tests out in the field. However, this is both expensive and can only be done late in the development process, which makes it hard to modify the product.

Höga effekter och svaga signaler

Miljöer och tillämpningar . som bygger på användning av höga elektriska effekter samtidigt som man är beroende störningsfria svaga signaler torde vara bland de mest utmanande ur EMC-synpunkt. Samtidigt är sådana exempel relativt vanliga. Industrimiljöer där man använder höga effekter samtidigt som man är beroende av olika sensorer för styrning och övervakning är ett typiskt exempel. Här kan det vara fråga om olika processer där högspänningsteknik används för själva produktionsprocessen, som exempelvis smältning av metall i stålverk. Andra exempel är produktionsprocesser där man använder svetsning eller där processen kräver att högspänningsutrustning används i olika moment.

Report from EMC Europe 2019

EMC Europe . International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility was arranged the 2 – 6 September in Barcelona Spain. It was locally organized by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Campus Nord. EMC Europe is the major European conference on Electromagnetic Compatibility and covers a wide area of topics within EMC. As usual, the conference had tutorials, workshops, poster sessions and oral sessions. High quality scientific and engineering papers were presented in a variety of themes within EMC.

EMC Challenges and Solar Panel Systems

The use of . solar panel systems is rapidly increasing and some of these systems are co-located in the vicinity of wireless systems. Measurements have shown that the radiated emission from solar panel electronics can reach considerable levels, in some cases even above CISPR 22 Class B. Here, examples of interference impact is discussed for two examples of wireless applications, air traffic control communications (ATCC) and High-Frequency (HF) communications. The overall conclusion is that co-location of solar panel systems with wireless communications, must be carefully analyzed not to create interference problems.
