Expert in Electromagnetic Interference, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and Electrostatic Discharge

Available for your Consulting and Expert Witness Needs

HEMP. Expert did a year long research project, which hardened the "standard" US Navy minicomputer against EMP effects. He and his co-worker Bill Kimmel worked together in a group that specialized in HEMP effects.

EMI MEASUREMENTS; FCC STANDARDS. Expert has designed, tested, and qualified numerous systems to stringent government EMI regulations (TEMPEST, MIL-STD-461, FCC IEC). He has designed and tested products to meet European Community EMI standards (IEC 801, CISPR 11/22, IEC 1000-4), and FDA medical standards. He has also conducted magnetic field and electromagnetic field site surveys.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE; ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONTROL; STATIC ELECTRICITY. Expert has designed and tested systems to IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801.2) immunity standards. He has isolated and corrected ESD problems with electronic systems in the field. He has developed in-house ESD guidelines and standards for clients.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE; MANMADE RFI; NATURAL RFI; RADAR INTERFERENCE; TELEVISION INTERFERENCE. Expert has solved numerous RFI problems between computer systems and VHF and UHF radio communications systems. This includes both emissions (computers jamming radios) and susceptibility (radios jamming computers). He has designed and tested systems to meet IEC 1000-4-3 (formerly IEC 801.3) RF immunity standards. He has conducted RF site surveys and has designed shielded rooms for RFI control.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING; SHIELDING. Expert has designed EMI shielded cabinets, enclosures, and rooms. He has also isolated and corrected shielding problems in the field. He has advised architects on shielded rooms and supervised their installation.

POWER QUALITY; ELECTRONIC TRANSIENTS; HUM; GROUNDING; LINE FILTERING. Expert has consulted on power quality problems, including transients, hum, high frequency interference, voltage sag and surge, magnetic fields, lightning, and grounding. He has conducted research on magnetic field effects on video displays and has done power line surveys and magnetic field surveys. He has held a Master Electrician's license and is familiar with the National Electrical Code as it applies to electronic systems. He has supported EPRI efforts on Power Quality.

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE; NUCLEAR EMP; SYSTEM GENERATED EMP; SOURCE REGION EMP. Expert has designed electronic equipment to meet nuclear EMP requirements. He has conducted classified research and advised clients of design techniques needed to meet EMP requirements.

TEMPEST; COMPROMISING EMANATIONS. Expert has designed and installed equipment to stringent TEMPEST requirements. He has advised clients on design techniques needed to meet TEMPEST requirements.
