    EMC: Is the "black magic" gone?

    April 25, 2008

    Yesterday, I attended Tech Tour, a traveling road show for EMC engineers. Presenters from Silent, ETS-Lindgren, and Rohde & Schwarz gave talks on topics such as shielding, antennas, and spectrum analyzers, respectively.

    Prior to the first presetnation, I spoke with two EMC engineers. One asked the other, "With all the equipment and automation tools available today, do you think the witchcraft is gone?"

    "Witchcraft isn’t gone," replied the other engineer. "Even with specialized tools, you still have to know how to set them up and use them correctly."

    What’s your take on solving EMC problems? Is it still mysterious or is it more cookbook now?

    Ron Bauerle commented:

    Still magic, since (1) you can't design for a specific target (i.e., take your best shot and see what the tests show), and (2) no two tests yield the same results :^(
