Introduction:

This program is focused on developing a Personal EMC Troubleshooting Kit and using it to perform Key Pre-Compliance Tests that will meet today’s challenges of tight engineering budgets. A review of EMC Basics and Product Design Fundamentals will keep the “Focus of EMC” at the forefront of your designs. Mr. Kenneth Wyatt has developed an outstanding approach that can be implemented for less than $5,000.00, including a spectrum analyzer! Those attending will greatly benefit from Ken’s tutorials and classroom experimentation of these recommended tools. His experience as lead EMC engineer for HP and Agilent Technologies and his independent consulting for a period of over 30 years, will provide interesting insights to his practical approach in solving EMC issues.
