THE
2003 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
ON
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Istanbul Hilton Hotel, Istanbul, Turkey,
May 11-16, 2003
Dear colleagues
and fellow EMC engineers,
In response to
the many requests received by the Organizing Committee, the
due date for papers (abstracts and summaries or preliminary manuscripts) has
been extended to October 30, 2002.
Please submit
your papers using the On-Line submission utility, which can be found on the
Symposium website www.ortra.com/emc2003 at the "Call for
Papers"/"Instructions for Submissions".
The symposium will provide a platform for
the presentation and discussion of new developments in the field of
electromagnetic compatibility and related topics. Paper sessions will include
topics on the Electromagnetic Environmental Effects, EMC Education and
Management, EMC Design, from Circuit to System, Spectrum Engineering, High Power
Microwave Effects and Electromagnetic Threats, Signal Integrity and High Speed
Considerations, Product Safety, Radiation Hazards and Biological Effects of EMF,
and many, many other exciting topics.
Workshops,
tutorials, “Birds of a Feather” panels and special invited sessions will be
organized on stimulating topics.
The scientific committee is inviting you to
contribute to the following specific technical activities, which currently in
the process of being formulated:
1.

SPECIAL CALL FOR
SESSIONS:
Note 1. ALAN BENSKY is soliciting
presentations on the following topics:
** Cohabitation problems with Bluetooth
integration in cellular phone handsets
** Coexistence of multiple WLAN standards
in a common environment
** Ultra-wideband (UWB) -- a blessing or a
curse for short-range communications?
** Telematics -- the challenge of the
automotive environment to Bluetooth EMC
** Transmitter and receiver design
considerations to meet type approval specifications and avoid susceptibility to
electromagnetic interference.
Note 2. Dr. HOWARD JOHNSON, author of
"High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic", will chair a session on
"Signal Integrity Analysis and Design" (technical session Theme 10, #38). The
session will explore regions of common interest between the subjects of EMC and
signal integrity.
Suggested topics include the control of
ringing, cross talk, ground bounce, power supply noise, signal rise time, stray
returning signal currents, split ground planes, noise isolation barriers, and
the propagation of extremely high-frequency waveforms.
The session chair has a special interest in
digital systems operating at signaling frequencies in excess of 1
Gb/s.
Note 3. DR. WILLIAM RADASKY, the
Chairman of TC-5 (High Power Electromagnetics) of the IEEE EMC Society, is
organizing a special session “Intentional EMI – Threats, Coupling, Effects,
Protection and Standards”. While most scientists and engineers working in the
field are familiar with the terminology used above, the term Intentional EMI
(IEMI) involves the purposeful production of EM radiated or conducted
disturbances with the intention of disturbing electronic equipment. Our interest
in this conference is related to civil equipment where hackers, criminals and
terrorists may wish to disrupt or damage the ability of a company or a factory
to operate normally. In addition, threats to transportation including aircraft,
trains and automobiles are certainly included. In terms of the scope of this
session, any type of narrowband or wideband (pulse) disturbance can be
considered including, for example, high-power microwaves or ultra wideband (UWB)
pulses. It is important to recognize that lower frequency disturbances may also
be important when they are injected directly into the electrical or telecom
wiring of a building. It is understood that papers that deal with the ability to
generate intense EM fields or conducted signals using readily available
equipment are of interest to establish the threat. Papers that deal with the
coupling and interaction of these types of signals are also of interest.
Examples of malfunctions and damage of electronics under related test conditions
are important along with analyses to establish the main parameters that control
the interference probability. Test methods used to establish susceptibility or
immunity levels of equipment are also of interest. Protection and monitoring
methods tailored to these types of threats and methods to standardize all
aspects of these threats, protection methods and test techniques are also within
the scope of this session.
