NEC-LIST:THE 2003 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

THE 2003 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Istanbul Hilton Hotel, Istanbul, Turkey, May 11-16, 2003

Dear colleagues and fellow EMC engineers, Hello from Turkey

We take great pleasure in inviting you to participate in the 2003 IEEE
International
Symposium on EMC, which will be held with the cooperation of our colleagues
in
Turkey, at the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey on May 11–16, 2003.

Just a friendly reminder that the due date for papers (abstracts and summaries
or
preliminary manuscripts is October 13, 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 scientific committee is inviting you to contribute to the following
specific technical
activities, which currently in the process of being formulated:

 1. Workshop on "EMC Problems and Solutions for Short-range
Communication under License-free Regulations" (Note 1)
· Contribution - Presentation
· Chairman - Alan Bensky
· Address for contacts - abensky_at_barak-online.net

2. "Educational EMC" Session
· Contribution - Papers
· Chairman - Prof.Heyno Garbe
· Address for contacts - garbe_at_geml.uni-hannover.de

3. "Signal Integrity" Session
· Contribution - Papers
· Chairman - Mark Montrose
· Address for contacts - mmontros_at_ix.netcom.com

4. "Signal Integrity Analysis and Design" (Note 2)
· Contribution - Papers
· Chairman - Dr. Howard Johnson
· Address for contacts - howiej_at_sigcon.com

5. “Intentional EMI – Threats, Coupling, Effects, Protection and
Standards” (Note
3)
· Contribution - Papers
· Chairman - Dr. William Radasky
· Address for contacts - wradasky_at_aol.com

 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.
