SPEAKERS
Mark Steffka
Professor Mark A. Steffka, is a Lecturer with the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Michigan – Dearborn, and a Professor at the University of Detroit – Mercy. His university responsibilities include teaching undergraduate, graduate, and professional development courses on electrical/electronic circuit design, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), antennas, and electronic communication systems. He was selected as an IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer and is the recipient of the IEEE “Laurence G. Cumming Award” (the EMC society’s highest distinction).
Mr. Steffka also has over 35 years of extensive full-time industry experience with military HF/VHF/UHF secure communications, spacecraft instrumentation, automotive electrical/electronics, and industrial electronics.
He holds patents on methods for electromagnetic interference reduction, as well as aircraft and ground vehicle antenna systems. Professor Steffka is the author (or co-author) of textbooks and book chapters on EMC, as well as numerous technical papers presented at IEEE and SAE conference/symposiums (both as a technical session participant or invited speaker).
Candace & John Suriano
Candace Suriano is a graduate of GMI Engineering & Management Institute (BSME) and has graduate degrees from Purdue University (MSME, MSE) and the University of Dayton (Ph.D.). She is the author of numerous papers and magazine articles on electromagnetic compatibility, and she chaired an antennas and probes workshop at several IEEE EMC symposia. Candace has a patent on motor noise suppression. Her interests are in the areas of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic modeling. Candace is a mom with interests in MOM. She may be contacted at: candacesuriano@gmail.com .
John Suriano is a graduate of GMI Engineering & Management Institute (BSEE) and has graduate degrees from Purdue University (MSEE, PhD). With Candace, he has authored numerous papers and magazine articles on electromagnetic compatibility. He has patents in the areas of noise suppression and motor design.

Agenda
EMC Overview
EMC means more than Everyone Must Comply, it is also known as ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. EMC is the measurement, classification, analysis, and correction of electromagnetic interference. If your speakers buzz from rectified cell phone signals, or a light dimmer disrupts your favorite radio station, and even when your laundry creates a static discharge that wakes up your computer, it is time to learn some basics of EMC. Join Candace and John Suriano as they use demos and equations including exploding balloons to explain the basics of EMC!
Basics of Antennas and Transmission Lines
Our world is full of electronic devices and systems that have "intentional" antennas and many also have "unintentional" antennas that can cause events that range from annoying to dangerous. Electrical signals from one device can radiate and inadvertently cause another device to react in unpredictable ways. Wires attached to devices for power or data signals can also act as transmission line / antenna combinations This presentation by Mark Steffka discuss the basics of how wires can act as transmission lines and how conductive paths become antennas (either intentional or unintentional).

SDR Dongle EMC Analysis
Many people around the globe, and many HAMs use Software Defined Radio (SDR) with a SDR on a computer. Join Karen Burnham as she explains how a SDR Dongle can help with EMC analysis!
