IEEE Denver EMC - Distinguished Lecturer - EMC Chambers and Testing
EMC Chambers and Testing
Presented by: Mr. Garth D'Abreu; Director, Automotive Solutions, ETS-Lindgren
Anechoic chambers in their various iterations have been around for several decades; the basic principles are fairly well understood and chambers are routinely designed to meet a wide range of test requirements. In this talk, Mr. D’Abreu discusses the intricacies of EMC chamber design with specific emphasis on the importance of RF absorber performance and chamber layout as well as its impact on overall performance. He also looks at some of the compromises involved in optimizing a design for a specific application, the development of EMC test chamber standards, and the technology available to produce compliant test environments.

Biography:
Garth D’Abreu is the Director, Automotive Solutions at ETS-Lindgren based at the corporate headquarters office in Cedar Park, Texas. He currently has primary responsibility for the design and development functions within the Systems Engineering group, specializing in turnkey solutions for Automotive EMC, Wireless and OTA test integration. Some of these more complex full vehicle and ESA test chambers involve his coordination with the RF engineering team on custom components, and the certified, internal Building Information Modeling (BIM) team at ETS-Lindgren.
He is also the ETS-Lindgren subject matter expert responsible for the ongoing research and development of Reverberation chambers, GTEM cells, and supports the RF filters, EMP applications and wireless device test systems groups. Automotive EMC, Antenna Measurement, and Wireless Test Systems for modern vehicles, incorporate multiple measurement techniques and chamber combinations, for which his expertise is well suited.
Mr. D’Abreu is a Senior Member of the IEEE EMC Society and active participant in standards development as a member of the US ISO and CISPR D automotive EMC standards committees. He has over 27 years of experience in the RF industry and holds a BSc degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering, from North London University, UK.
