This course is led by Dr. Min Zhang, a renowned EMC expert based in the UK, with technical support from Mr. Thomas Dowd of Telonic.
Course Objectives
This one-day course offers hands-on training for design engineers seeking a comprehensive understanding of high-frequency measurements and EMC tests. Unlike many other training programs that focus primarily on theory, this course emphasizes real-world applications, featuring numerous demonstrations using state-of-the-art test equipment and interactive sessions for participants.
Who Should Attend
It is recommended for electrical/electronics engineers with at least 2 years of work experience who aim to establish benchtop EMC testing capabilities and gain fundamental knowledge of EMC principles, along with the ability to perform accurate high-frequency measurements.
