Hi All,

I have fine tuned my content and outline of a web presentation on 
troubleshooting EMC issues, and even SI issues, by addressing resonances 
in the physical structure of a system. Many if not most EMC and some SI 
problems, in my experience, are the result of resonances.

I am thinking of holding this as a web presentation on a regular basis 
(say on Friday afternoons) in addition to private presentations for my 
customers (one on those coming up with 30+ people around the world 
attending). If you are interested in participating, contact me 
privately. There is a cost (~tens of $ depending on number attending) 
but it is a small fraction of what web based classes of this length (one 
to two hours) usually cost.

Here is the outline:

Electrical Resonances in Physical Structures
(A New Approach to Solving EMC Emissions and Immunity Problems)

Many system design problems result from electrical resonances in the 
physical structures of the system, such as PCB construction and 
mounting, heat sink construction and mounting, chassis construction, 
unintended resonances of system antennas, and system cables both 
internal and external. If these problems are thought of in terms of 
resonances (LC and transmission lines), the problems are often more 
easily found and solved. Techniques for finding, characterizing, 
determining if a specific resonance is a problem or is harmless, and 
fixing those resonances that are causing problems are presented.

Outline

1. How to measure resonances
◦ Direct measurements
◦ Measurements using probes
2. Examples of measurements and implications
◦ PCB plane resonance
◦ Simple BNC connector
◦ PCB mounted over metal/another board
⁃ Time domain
⁃ Frequency domain
◦ Chassis resonance and ESD performance
◦ RFID antenna (~10 MHz) spurious resonances @200 MHz and emissions
◦ Resonance on a PCB path on development PCB
◦ Heat sink resonance - EMC examples
◦ Resonance in a system cable
3. Methods to kill the Q of resonances
4. Effect of system resonances on emissions and radiated immunity
5. Effect of system resonances on ESD performance
6. Testing resonances to see if they are a problem
7. Equipment recommendations
8. Summary
