Integrating various components or equipment to create a system that meets the regulatory or contractual EMC requirements is a complex task with many unknowns. Even with existing EMC test results for each component or equipment, predicting and then achieving the desired system-level EMC performance can still seem an impossible task. Moreover, the inter component/equipment EMI within a system can be more complicated. These challenges are present regardless of whether the system is a microcontroller or an aircraft carrier. This presentation will examine some of these challenges and discuss design philosophies and engineering techniques for mitigating inter component/equipment EMI and improving system’s EMC performance.

Biography:

Ross Carlton (SM’03) received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, in 1985. Since that time, Mr. Carlton has been engaged in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) where he has worked in the military, aerospace, and commercial electronics industries to ensure the EMC of electronics products ranging from integrated circuits to battleships. He is currently with the National Instruments Corporation, Austin, TX, a manufacturer of industrial controls and test and measurement equipment, where he is the Technical Leader for EMC design and compliance test functions.

Mr. Carlton was the U.S. Representative to IEC TC47 from 2000 to 2007 where he led the development of three published IC EMC test method standards. He currently represents the U.S. on IEC TC65 developing EMC product family standards for test and measurement equipment. Mr. Carlton is also an iNARTE certified EMC Engineer, an iNARTE certified Master EMC Design Engineer, and a Member of the Board of Directors of the IEEE EMC Society.
