During consulting assignments, I observe that engineers sometimes struggle to achieve compliance. This not only includes regulatory but functionality. The more senior one is at design engineering, there is the tendency to do things in a manner that is familiar…

We need to maximize the functionality of a product using printed circuit boards while at the same time shrink the physical size along with lower cost of development and production. We are discovering that signal integrity is becoming a greater concern…

There must be a source, path and receptor for an EMC event to occur. If a radiated or conducted problem is observed during compliance testing, how do we quickly locate the source of undesired RF energy? Many engineers will start…
For those that believe computational analysis one key to successful design engineering, allow me to play “devil’s advocate” and say experience is better than simulation. As a manager, if you had to hire an engineer for a specialized task would you…
