IEEE APS/EMC/MTT/AESS Radio Regulatory: a View from Inside Industry
Please join us for our October IEEE APS/EMC meeting. Our speaker will be local member, Douglas Datwyler, P.E., IEEE WCP.
Radio regulatory, as seen in industry, is not easy to accomplish. This presentation will summarize some of the experience of an engineer tasked with assisting a business unit in an IoT and cloud data company to obtain and maintain radio regulatory documentation in more than 10 countries or regions globally for a broad base of radio products or products containing radios of various types. Not all is radio and test labs, but also product safety, materials, and various directives. Some consulting between offices in the group has been performed.

About Douglas Datwyler, P.E., IEEE WCP:
Douglas has a BSEE from the University of Utah. He is a professional engineer licensed in the state of Utah, one of the few electrical engineers holding license. He holds an IEEE Wireless Communications Professional (WCP) certificate, an Amateur Extra Class license (FCC), a general radio telephone operator license (GROL) plus RADAR endorsement (FCC), and recently became a remote pilot (FAA).
Douglas has been involved in design of analog, digital, and RF/wireless circuits. These have been video drivers (150 ft cables to displays), computer interfaces to a US Navy shipboard computer and a Norwegian computer used in flight simulation, and multi-DSP boards. Further designs are a multiple parallel bus to high speed serial interface, a PC motherboard in an industrial form factor (6x9 inches). Other designs include the electronics for a sensitive metal detector (5 g precious metals), Ethernet switch with 24 10/100 ports and computing capacities, synchronous AC motor controls in an appliance, and many small radios at 868 MHz and 2400 MHz. He has written test code in C, C#, and in LabVIEW. He has also authored several unpublished white papers. Among these assignments have been tasks to take trips to local labs for EMC measurements and reports.
Douglas’s current assignments are in radio rules and regulations across the world for a company’s embedded/RF business unit doing embedded radios and gateway products containing radios. He works to define radio performance per the many national standards, schedule work at test labs, write test code drivers and test setup instructions, go to local labs for testing requiring anechoic chambers or open air testing, create various declarations of conformity and other associated documents, and track regulatory status. He has setup various tests and evaluations that can be done to the standards in the local office.
He has also answered questions about FCC for small cells, 4900 MHz changes, and reallocation of half the DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) allocation for transportation applications to 5G. A favorite question is "Will 5G mm wave signals cause cancer?"
