Rohde & Schwarz will host its annual Demystifying EMC (DEMC2024) industry event on February 6, 2024. The one-day virtual conference will feature technical presentations, workshops, and live Q&A discussions hosted by EMC experts from Rohde & Schwarz and industry partners. The program will cover the latest updates in CISPR, RED, ANSI, ISO, MIL and medical EMC standards, as well as approaches to testing, design, risk management and compliance.

The morning session comprises five 30-minute presentations following the opening keynote by Christina Gessner, executive vice president Rohde & Schwarz, and Michael Fischlein, vice president spectrum and network analyzers, EMC and antenna test at Rohde & Schwarz. The keynote sets the stage for test requirements and solutions. The subjects covered in the sessions include establishing and maintaining in-house test capabilities for EMC compliance, understanding calibration and calibration services, and qualifying equipment according to U.S. FCC and EU RED regulations. Additionally, there are sessions that describe testing small satellites for New Space missions and testing vehicles using the latest reverberation chamber methods.

The afternoon session will start with an update on the latest CISPR and ISO standards. Then, Prof. Dr. Arturo Mediano from the University of Zaragoza will give a practical demonstration of conducted emissions testing. The afternoon will also cover EMC immunity testing challenges and the latest updates in medical and automotive testing. In the closing keynote, a panel of experts will discuss the outlook for EMC testing through the next decade and beyond. Live moderation will provide participants the opportunity to interact with EMC experts and ask questions.

Fischlein commented, “As established leaders in electromagnetic compatibility testing, we are excited to continue our popular seminar format Demystifying EMC in 2024, helping to bring clarity to EMC testing, for commercial, wireless, medical, automotive, aerospace and IoT applications. That is why we share our deep EMC expertise, derived from over 50 years of experience, and team up with our partners whose contributions enhance the learning opportunities even more.”

Registration for the DEMC2024 virtual conference on February 6, 2024, is now open and free of charge. The DEMC event will be followed by a series of related in-person events at venues around the world.
