Site Voltage Standing-Wave Ratio (SVSWR) Measurement Peter
Berquist Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010 Location: Front Range Community College, Room L200 (see map), 3645 W. 112th Ave., Westminster, CO. Directions maybe found at: http://www.frontrange.edu/FRCCTemplates/FRCC7.aspx?id=109. Time: 6:30 PM - Social time and food, 7:00 to 8:30 PM - Presentation Abstract: This
presentation is an introduction to the Site Voltage Standing-wave Ratio
measurements. The
international regulations requirements for test sites for emission
measurement above 1 GHz are define and discussed.
The technical rational behind the SVSWR is explored, allowing the
attendee to have a good understanding of this simple measure. A review of
the procedural steps of SVSWR is presented. Many of the pitfalls of the
measurement are presented as well as the precautions necessary for
success. The potential
sources of reflections and failure are detailed.
The sources of measurement uncertainty are investigated.
Bio: Peter Berquist is
the owner and president of Emissions Test Consulting, a consulting firm that
provides services to electromagnetic compatibility testing laboratories.
He brings over thirty years of experience in the field of EMC testing
to resolve difficult measurement problems. He is well versed in most aspects
of EMC testing, such as, measurement uncertainty, quality systems, product
regulations, software and software architecture, site validation (NSA and
SVSWR). Prior to his current position, he worked for the Intel Corporation as
a Senior EMC Engineer. Before Intel he worked for Hewlett-Packard and Agilent
Technologies companies. He has
received assessor training from NVLAP for technical laboratory assessments.
After retiring from Intel in 2008 and starting Emissions Test Consulting, he
now lives in Loveland Colorado.
