IEEE/EMC Society Meeting
October 11, 2005 
Time:     Social 5:30 p.m.  Presentation 7:00 p.m. 

 

Place:     Applied Materials Bowers Cafeteria

3090 Bowers Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95051-0804

 

 

Subject: Practical Shielding Theory and Design Fundamentals

 

Speaker:  Michael J. Oliver

 

It is important for electronic and hardware engineers to not only be 
knowledgeable of a products intended function and performance, but also the 
ability of the product to perform within electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 
limits.  In this talk, practical shielding theory and design fundamentals are 
introduced that includes crosstalk, electromagnetic fields, board level, and 
enclosure shielding.  A segment on testing of board level shields is presented 
affiliated with an aperture attenuation modeling program used to model 
attenuation characteristics prior to expensive FCC/CE compliance testing.  
Finally, honeycomb vent panels and respective plating attenuation comparisons 
are discussed.  

 

Not addressed in this talk, but as background information; standard EMC limits 
are maintained by the international regulatory environment for EMC such as the 
International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) of the 
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).  For product acceptance the 
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in the US and the Conformite Europenne 
(CE) compliance marks are paramount for product sale throughout the world.

 

Speaker Bio:

Mr. Oliver is Vice President of Electrical / EMC Engineering at MAJR Products 
Corporation in charge of new product development, customer technical quoting / 
consulting, and quality management.  His expertise is in EMI/RFI shielding 
technology with a background in electronics, military shelter electrical 
systems, and high power antenna / radome design. 
 
Mr. Oliver holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Gannon University 
and has been an Electrical Engineer since 1989. He currently holds three 
patents (two pending), on thermal management-EMI/RFI shielding devices. He has 
written numerous technical papers on electromagnetic shielding components, 
shielding product enhancement, and the development of test specifications and 
procedures for antenna and radome measurements. He currently serves as Chairman 
of the newly formed Pittsburgh EMC Chapter, Vice Chairman of the SAE AE4 
Electromagnetic Compatibility Committee, and member of the IEEE EMC Standards 
Advisory Coordination Committee (SACCom). 
 
Kind Regards,
 
Oscar Fallah
