One of the biggest causes of EMC test failures is radiating structures in a unit, whether from the PCB or cabling, that are acting in ways designers never intended. This talk covers basics of antenna theory and how to identify potential radiating “antennas” in your product.

Introducing Career Journeys The vision for Career Journeys is a series of fireside chats where students and early-career engineers can have frank discussions with experienced engineers about how experienced engineers discovered their careers. It is not a presentation or a lecture. We hope this will be small groups having a fireside chat with successful engineers. We can explore dreams, ambition, successes, setbacks, job searches, surviving interviews, recessions, corporate downsizing, good managers, bad managers ... nothing is sacred. What are your questions about the profession beyond graduation? Experienced engineers all recall that as newly minted engineers, we were relatively clueless about how our careers would unfold. Few of us are lucky enough to retire from our first jobs. Most of us slowly discover our careers through a series of changes. We celebrate successes and survive setbacks. Talking about successes is easy. With this series, we also strive to be brave enough to share the seldom-told stories of our careers. Career Journeys is a pilot. - We can schedule follow-ups if the meetings get too large. - We can schedule speakers that have careers that match your interest. - We want these fireside chats to be comfortable for exploring your journey.
