KU Leuven: Basic and advanced techniques to increase immunity against electromagnetic disturbances

The research group ReMI (Reliability in Mechatronics and ICT) organizes a course on basic and advanced techniques to increase the immunity of products against electromagnetic disturbances. This course will take place on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 february 2017 at KU Leuven Technology Campus Ostend, Zeedijk 101, Ostend.

Introduction

Due  to  the  ever  increasing  use  of  electronic  systems  in  almost  every  possible application, the generation of possible disturbances has been continuously growing over the last decade with no signs that this trend will be broken. Besides, one sees that electronic systems are being applied more and more in and for mission or even safety critical functions which require an extremely high resilience against all environmental stresses, including electromagnetic disturbances, over the whole foreseen lifetime. As a product developer it is often very difficult to assess the products environment, let alone foresee the effect  of various electromagnetic disturbances on the product itself.

In this training course several topics about the immunity of electronic products and their electromagnetic environment are discussed. Low-cost pre-compliance debugging and protection techniques against ESD, surge transients, etc. are presented.

Topics

This course is divided in two days and includes following topics

Day 1:

• Intro on EMC & immunity
• Resilience to EM disturbances for mission- or safety-critical systems
• Assessing an EM environment
• Overview of basic EMC immunity test methods
• Basic low-cost precompliance immunity testing

Day 2:

• Advanced low-cost precompliance immunity testing
• Protection against ESD
• Protecting against surge, transients, etc
• Protecting from AC/DC power quality

Participation fee

• €650 (excl. VAT) for both days
• €350 (excl. VAT) for only day 1

A 10% discount applies for members of Agoria, the RELIM project or the INPROVOL project. The participation fee includes course notes, lunches and coffee breaks.
