*IEEE/EMC Society Meeting*

*Tuesday **February 13, 2007*

*Time:* Social 5:30 p.m. Presentation 6:30 p.m.

*Place:* Applied Materials Bowers Cafeteria 3090 Bowers Ave., Santa Clara,
CA 95051-0804

*Subject:* Taking the guesswork out of EMC design using numerical
simulations

*Speaker:* *Federico P. Centola, Flomerics Inc.*

*Speaker Bio:*

Federico Pio Centola received his Laureate degree in electrical engineering
from the University of L'Aquila, Italy in 2001 and the M.S. degree in
electrical engineering from the University of Missouri Rolla in 2003. From
2001 to 2003 he has been with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory
at the University of Missouri Rolla where he was a visiting scholar and a
graduate research assistant. His research interests included numerical
simulations, electrostatic discharge and shielding.  He has been an EMC
instructor and consultant for Flomerics Inc. where he specialized in
applying numerical simulations to solve EMC problems. He is currently
working for Flomerics as an Electromagnetic Applications Engineer.

*Abstract:*

Numerical simulations for EMC applications have been proven to be very cost
effective when comparing different design options. Different EMC design
practices such as minimizing coupling paths, shielding, grounding practices
and filtering can be effectively evaluated using numerical simulations. In
most EMC applications the geometry and the complexity of the problem needs
to be highly simplified in order to achieve a model that can be computed
within a reasonable amount of time and memory. In this talk, this
simplification process will be shown using models of common real-world EMC
applications. The simulation results will then be compared to measurements
to validate the process. The examples presented will show how the
visualization of EM fields and currents allows engineers to have an insight
of the system, to suggest design alternatives and to quantify in advance the
effectiveness of each different solution.
