Applications In modern electronics, as component size continues to decrease and complexity to increase, electrostatic and magnetic fields and their interactions are becoming increasingly important. As problems have arisen, creative solutions have been developed. This course pulls together the latest tools and techniques for overcoming problems related to electrostatic and magnetic coupling. An understanding of the principles and recent developments in this growing field is essential to many individuals in both the commercial and military electronics industries.
For Whom Intended This course is intended for individuals whose work requires an understanding of the effects of interacting electrostatic and magnetic fields on electrical and electronic equipment. Circuit designers, electronics packaging specialists, systems engineers, and electronic test specialists will find this course helpful.
Objectives To help participants to understand grounding and shielding concepts and terminology. To provide an overview of the newest and most effective techniques for overcoming problems through the proper use of grounds and shields.
Brief Course Description The course is not an in-depth electrical engineering course but rather is aimed at individuals who require an intensive overview of basic principals, potential pitfalls and practical techniques, without the assumption of much prior knowledge of the topic.
The course is fast paced and as non-mathematical as possible. It begins with a review of electrostatic concepts, such as charges, fields and forces. It then takes up the basic theory of electrostatic and electromagnetic fields and field coupling. Armed with an understanding of the problem-causing mechanisms, students are prepared to devise solutions. The course addresses practical considerations such as cabling choices and the proper design and use of grounds. Effective grounding and shielding of amplifiers, voltmeters and enclosures will be covered. Techniques for measuring shielding effectiveness will be addressed. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) will be covered as it relates to equipment design.
Certificate Programs This course is a required course for TTi's Design Development Specialist Certificate and Instrumentation Test Specialist Certificate and an elective for TTi's other certificate programs.
Prerequisites Students should have completed TTi's course no. 104, Electronics for Non-Electronic Engineers or the equivalent. This course is aimed toward individuals actively involved in related technical fields. An understanding of basic electrical theory is required.
Text Each student will receive a course workbook, including most of the viewgraphs used in the course presentation.
Course Hours, Certificate and CEUs Open courses meet seven hours per day. Upcoming presentation dates can be found on our current open course schedule. Class hours/days for on-site courses can vary from 14-35 hours over 2-5 days as requested by our clients. Upon successful course completion, each participant receives a certificate of completion and one Continuing Education Unit (CEU) for every ten class hours.
