Valter of Università Politecnica delle Marche

Biography:

Valter Mariani Primiani received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Ancona, Ancona, Italy, in 1990. He is currently Full Professor in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy. He is member of the Department of Information Engineering, where he is also responsible for the EMC Laboratory. His research interests include the prediction of digital printed circuit board radiation, the radiation from apertures, the electrostatic discharge coupling effects modeling, and the analysis of emission and immunity test methods. Since 2003, he has been also involved in research activities on the application of reverberation chambers for compliance testing, metrology applications and multipath propagation emulation. Prof. Mariani Primiani has been a Member of the COST Action 1407 ACCREDIT on the characterization of stochastic emissions from digital equipment. He is senior member of the IEEE (EMC society) and a member of the Italian Society of Electromagnetics. From 2007, he is or was an active member of some Working Groups for the development of IEEE Standards: 299.1, 1302, 2715, and 2716 on shielding effectiveness measurements. Since 2014, he has been a member of the International Steering Committee of EMC Europe. Since 2017, he has been the Chair of the working group for the IEEE Standard 2718 for the characterization of stochastic emissions. He was involved in the European project RISE-6G on the using of Reconfigurable Intelligent Sustainable Environments for 6G Wireless Networks. He is currently involved in the Doctoral Network MSCA 2022 “NEPIT” as responsible for the Ancona Unit. He is the Italian member of the Joint Task Force CISPR/A/SC77B on Reverberation chambers. He is Associate Editor of the journal IET Science, Measurement & Technology.

Ramiro of Eindhoven University of Technology

This presentation provides an introduction on how radiated EMC measurements can be performed in RCs. We discuss the basic principles behind such measurements, particularly the concept of statistical field uniformity. The basic measurement techniques are described as well as some state-of-the-art measurement techniques employing advanced equipment. An in-depth discussion on measurement uncertainty is provided, by describing the influence of multiple and concurrent field correlations in the quantification of the intrinsic field uncertainty, a unique and key concept in RCs. It is possible to add to this presentation, if desired, some considerations on an ongoing discussion point in the EMC community: how to set up limits for acceptance levels in RCs. This point would not be a “lecture” strictly speaking, but more like an open discussion and sharing of an opinion. (Note: We are running a large inter-laboratory comparison exercise. Results from that study will be available after October 2025; hopefully, and, if possible, added to this presentation.)

Vasso of University of Twente

Biography:

Vasiliki Gkatsi is an Early Stage Researcher of the MSCA ETN PETER project at the research group of Power Electronics (PE), in the Faculty of EEMCS at the University of Twente. She is working on “EMI Risk Assessment Applied to the Next Generation Vehicular Communication Devices”. Her focus is to examine the effect of emission and immunity of conventional and expected systems for vehicular network such as V2V, V2I and V2X, using the risk-based EMC approach.

She received her M.Sc. degree of Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 2020. She also performed an internship at THALES in Hengelo, the Netherlands, where she concentrated on Shielding Effectiveness measurements using the dual VIRC.

Mathias of Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg

Biography:

Mathias Magdowski is an engineer by heart and studied electrical engineering at the Otto von Guericke University (OVGU) in Magdeburg, Germany from 2003 to 2008. Since then, he has been working as a researcher and lecturer at the chair for electromagnetic compatibility  (EMC). In 2013, he also worked as a guest researcher at the National  Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado. His current research interest include analytical and statistical methods for modeling EMC problems, especially the field-to-wire coupling of statistic fields in mode-stirred chambers.
