It will be jo int with GRARA\, the Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association. This topic wa s recently covered in a technical webinar held in November 2023 and sponso red by Rohde and Schwarz and narrated by Mr. Paul Denisowski\, KO4LZ an R& S production manager.\n\nRon Fredricks\, K8DMR\, GRARA member and IEEE Wes t MI Section IEEE Vice Chair and the Secretary of the Section’s Electro- Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) chapter will give the presentation. Ron has K O4LZ’s slide deck and will take us through it adding his own comments. H elping Ron will be GRARA Treasurer and Chair of the local IEEE EMC chapter \, Dave DeVos\, KF8QL\, and Richard Cory\, W8IMA\, secretary of the local West MI IEEE Section.\n\nThis joint meeting will be held on Friday evening May 3rd with the presentation scheduled right after GRARA’s business me eting concludes at ~8 PM. It will be a combination ZOOM and live meeting. The exact location is in one of the large basement classrooms at the Life EMS building\, 1050 Leonard St NE in Grand Rapids.\n\nInterested West MI S ection IEEE members are invited to attend the radio club’s monthly busin ess meeting beforehand starting at 7:00 PM (eyeball QSO social starts at 6 :30) or ZOOM-in anytime using the codes provided below in this E-notice. T he actual Understanding Phase Noise-- Fundamentals presentation will start around 8 PM\, so whether attending virtually or live please ZOOM-in or ar rive at the classroom before then.\n\nThe aim of this presentation is to p rovide GRARA and IEEE members with a basic technical introduction to phase noise (primarily arising within oscillators)\, the effects of phase noise from stations on nearby frequencies to desired signals\, and the differen t methods that can be used to analyze and measure phase noise. The level w ill be as non-mathematical as possible so all may get a basic understandin g of the phenomena.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Associa tion\n\nSpeaker(s): Ron\, K8DMR\n\nAgenda: \n(1) Arrive Early or ZOOM in E arly to if you wish to attend the regular May meeting of the Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association: 6:30-8 PM\n\n(2) Joint IEEE West MI Section EMC /GRARA Presentation on 'Understanding Phase Noise -- Fundamentals': 8-8:45 PM\n\n(3) Q&A 8:45 -- 9:00 PM\n\nAdjourn\n\nRoom: Lower Level\, Bldg: Lif e EMS Classroom Building (former Red Cross Chapter)\, 1050 Fuller Ave N.E. \, Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, United States\, 49505 LOCATION:Room: Lower Level\, Bldg: Life EMS Classroom Building (former Red Cross Chapter)\, 1050 Fuller Ave N.E.\, Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, United S tates\, 49505 ORGANIZER:ron_fredricks@comcast.net SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Understanding Phase Noise -- Fundamentals URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418749 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0i n\; text-align: center\; line-height: normal\; mso-layout-grid-align: none \; text-autospace: none\;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 16.0pt\; font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Adobe Clea n DC'\; color: black\; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\;">JOINT IEEE/GRARA MAY MEETI NG\, FRIDAY EVENING MAY 3rd at 8 PM</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNorm al" style="margin-bottom: 0in\; line-height: normal\; mso-layout-grid-alig n: none\; text-autospace: none\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-fa mily: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; color: b lack\; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\;">&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" s tyle="margin-bottom: 0in\; line-height: normal\; mso-layout-grid-align: no ne\; text-autospace: none\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; color: black\ ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\;">The coming EMC Chapter of the West MI Section I EEE meeting presentation is entitled <strong>&ldquo\;Understanding Phase N oise -- Fundamentals&rdquo\;</strong>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&n bsp\; </span>It will be joint with GRARA\, the Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&nbsp\; </span>This topic wa s recently covered in a technical webinar held in November 2023 and sponso red by Rohde and Schwarz and narrated by Mr. Paul Denisowski\, KO4LZ an R& amp\;S production manager. </span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin -bottom: 0in\; line-height: normal\; mso-layout-grid-align: none\; text-au tospace: none\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Adobe Clea n DC'\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; color: black\; mso-font-k erning: 0pt\;">&nbsp\;</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Adobe Clean DC'\; color: black\ ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\;">Ron Fredricks\, K8DMR\, GRARA member and IEEE W est MI Section IEEE Vice Chair and the Secretary of the Section&rsquo\;s E lectro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) chapter will give the presentation.
