EMI / EMC in Military SystemsIncludes Mil Std-461/464 & Troubleshooting AddendumsCourse # E141Nevember 18-20, 2014Newport, Rhode Island$1840 (8:30am - 4:30pm)Register 3 or More & Receive $100 00 EachOff The Course Tuition.SummarySystems EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)involves the control of EMI (ElectromagneticInterference) at the systems, facility, and platformlevels (e.g. outside the box.) This three-day courseprovides a comprehensive treatment of EMI/EMCproblems in military systems. These include both thebox level requirements of MIL-STD-461 and thesystems level requirements of MIL-STD-464. Theemphasis is on prevention through good EMI/EMCdesign techniques - grounding, shielding, cablemanagement, and power interface design.Troubleshooting techniques are also addressed in anaddendum. Please note - this class does NOT addresscircuit boards issues. Each student will receive a copyof the EDN Magazine Designer's Guide to EMC byDaryl Gerke and William Kimmel, along with acomplete set of lecture notes.InstructorsWilliam (Bill) Kimmel, PE, has worked in theelectronics field for over 45 years. Hereceived his BSEE with distinctionfrom the University of Minnesota. Hisexperience includes design andsystems engineering with industryleaders like Control Data and SperryDefense Systems. Since, 1987, hehas been involved exclusively withEMI/EMC as a founding partner of Kimmel GerkeAssociates, Ltd. Bill has qualified numeroussystems to industrial, commercial, military, medical,vehicular, and related EMI/EMC requirements.Daryl Gerke, PE, has worked in the electronicsfield for over 40 years. He received hisBSEE from the University of Nebraska.His experience ranges includes designand systems engineering with industryleaders like Collins Radio, SperryDefense Systems, Tektronix, and Intel.Since 1987, he has been involvedexclusively with EMI/EMC as afounding partner of Kimmel Gerke Associates, Ltd.Daryl has qualified numerous systems to industrial,commercial, military, medical, vehicular, and relatedEMI/EMC requirements.Course Outline1.
