MIL-STD-461G Training: EMI/EMC Testing of Military Equipment [Online/Live] [US CDT Timezone] [250203U]

Two and a half days of Online Training with US Time Schedule CDT, UTC-5)

MIL-STD-461G, Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment.

An International ONLINE Training on
EMI/EMC Testing with focus on:

MIL-STD-461G, Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment.

Includes Overview of Relevant EMI/EMC Test Standards (MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-1275, and RTCA-DO-160G Power Input)

This training is an important step for testing your military equipment for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for the targeted test requirements described in MIL-STD-461G and platform requirements described in MIL-STD-464D. The training focuses on the test sections described in these standard documents:

“MIL-STD-461G: Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment” and “MIL-STD-464D Electromagnetic Environmental Effects, Requirements for Systems.”

The Instructors share their experience and knowledge gained by working long years in the field designing products and performing tests following such as MIL-STD-810H, RTCA-DO-160, and MIL-STD-461G. The slides are supported by many graphics and test videos for the efficiency and clarity of the information and each session is planned under the tests described in MIL-STD-461G. Sessions include presentations on platform-level requirements, guides, and lessons learned items based on MIL-STD-464D. The training also includes test process and requirements overview given by DOD Systems Engineering Processes. Dr. Ismail Cicek is the lead instructor of this training, and several experienced test personnel and design engineers helped complete the training sessions. The following link describes Dr. Cicek’s experiences on the topic in more detail: https://www.globaldynamicsystems.com/dr-i-cicek/
