Abstract:
-- There are many different levels of software
tools and vendor information can often be confusing. This presentation will
discuss the different level of tools, where they can be employed within a
typical design process, and the expected benefit they can provide. Some tools
are very inexpensive while other tools are very expensive. Often these tools
perform the same function and only the 'prettiness' of the user interface defines
the cost. Tools can be relatively
straightforward, such as PCB EMC rule checking software, but more complex full
wave simulation tools can also be useful during design discovery. Even within
the set of available full wave modeling tools, the costs vary from around $1,000
to well over $70,000. This seminar will discuss the relative merits of the
various levels of software, and show how significant design improvements can be
achieved even with less expensive tools. Finally,
as with any modeling software, it is important that the model results be
validated. Measurements are not always possible for this validation so this
seminar will discuss alternative methods to perform this validation, both for
expensive and for inexpensive software tools.
Demos:
-- Following
Dr. Archambeault’s presentation,
demonstrations of EMI/EMC software tools will be provided to complement the
material presented and enhance the learning experience.
Speaker Biography: --
Dr. Bruce Archambeault
is an IBM Distinguished Engineer at IBM in Research Triangle Park, NC.
He received his B.S.E.E degree from the University of New Hampshire in
1977 and his M.S.E.E degree from Northeastern University in 1981.
He received his Ph. D. from the University of New Hampshire in 1997.
His doctoral research was in the area of computational electromagnetics
applied to real-world EMC problems.
Dr. Archambeault has authored or co-authored a number of papers in computational
electromagnetics, mostly applied to real-world EMC applications.
He is currently the IEEE EMC Society Technical Activities Chair, a past
member of the Board of Directors for the IEEE EMC Society and a past member of
the Board of Directors for the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society
(ACES). He has served as a past
IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer.
He is the author of the book “PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control” and
the lead author of the book titled “EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook.”
The Seattle EMC Chapter wishes to acknowledge and thank
CKC Laboratories for funding the speaker’s travel expenses.
