Presentation 1: Emission and Immunity Characterization and Testing
By Sergio A. Pignari, Full Professor at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy

Abstract: EMC characteristics of systems involving differential line interconnections (e.g., twisted-wire pairs, parallel microstrip lines) strongly depend on balancing of the line and terminal networks. This is due to several factors (e.g., tolerances and non-ideal behavior of circuit components in the frequency range of interest) and leads to emission and susceptibility issues, to which differential line circuits should theoretically be immune. By starting from the concept of imbalance and relevant mode conversion, this speech will discuss EMC modeling and experimental testing of such systems, with a focus on wiring structures involving twisted-wire pairs.
Speaker Biography: Sergio A. Pignari (M’01–SM’07–F’12) received the Laurea (M.S.) and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 1988 and 1993, respectively.
In 1998, he joined Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, where he is currently a Full Professor
of Circuit Theory and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) with the EMC Group, Department of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in the field of EMC and include characterization of interference effects, distributed-parameter circuit modeling,
statistical techniques for EMC, and experimental procedures and setups for EMC testing. Dr. Pignari’s research activity is mainly related to the Aerospace, Automotive, and Railway industry sectors. He is the author or coauthor of more than 120
papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Pignari is the recipient of the IEEE EMC Society’s 2005 Transactions Prize Paper Award the 2011 Technical Achievement Award. He is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS
ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY and is the IEEE EMC Society Chapter Coordinator for more than 70 EMC chapters worldwide.
Presentation 2: Introduction to Reverberation Chambers
By Mr. Garth D’Abreu, Director of RF Engineering, Test Solutions Group, ETS-Lindgren, Texas

Abstract: Reverberation chambers were once primarily used for military and automotive testing. Today, they are also increasingly used for new and diverse applications due to their inherent efficiency and cost effectiveness. New applications include aircraft testing, simulating a wireless environment, probe calibration, and determining the shielding effectiveness of materials and components such as cables and connectors, to name just a few. The presentation will provide an overview of reverberation chamber fundamentals and applications. A comparison of cost and performance tradeoffs of testing in an anechoic chamber versus a reverberation chamber will be provided.
Speaker Biography: Garth D’Abreu is the Director of RF Engineering at ETS-Lindgren based at the corporate office in Cedar Park, Texas. He has primary responsibility for the design and development functions within the Systems Engineering group. The Systems group provides technical support for ETS- Lindgren worldwide and is directly responsible for anechoic chamber, E- Field generator, TEM device and instrumentation system design and development. Mr. D’Abreu is the lead engineer for reverberation chamber design and test and is responsible for the development of GTEM cells, EMP
protection applications and wireless device test systems. He also provides technical support
to the Filter
department. He holds a BSc degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering, from North London University, UK. He is a member of the IEEE EMC Society, and active participant in standards development with has over 20 years of experience in the RF industry.
