Abstract: Necessity
was the mother of site-to-site reproducibility evaluation for radiated
emissions testing. In the 1980's, H-P had products that were being
cooperatively developed and tested in Colorado and California. When the
inevitable happened, and two test facilities gave conflicting test
results, we were forced to figure out whether the differences were due to the
test facilities or other causes. This led to a reproducibility program
that is going strong today, with 30+ participating sites, H-P and non-H-P,
around the world. This presentation will discuss what we learned about
radiated and conducted emissions reproducibility, and how we got where we are.
Biography: Lowell
Kolb holds BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from South Dakota
School of Mines and Technology, 1974 and 1975, respectively. He has been
employed by Hewlett-Packard company in Loveland and then Fort Collins,
Colorado, continuously since January of 1975, with various positions in
research and development, quality assurance, and manufacturing, starting with
desktop computers, which evolved into workstations. He has been focusing
almost exclusively on electromagnetic compatibility for the past 20
years, and is currently an EMC engineer in the hardware test center.
Lowell holds seven patents, all of which are EMC-related.
