Abstract :
Just as they were last year, the Hardware Experiments & Demonstrations and Computer Modeling & Simulations sessions, inaugurated by Andy Drozd in 1992, were a signature event at our annual symposium in Raleigh. Each year these sessions collectively provide attendees the opportunity to not only observe an exciting, educational, and thought provoking series of experiments and demonstrations provided by some of the Society´s best and brightest practitioners, but to also directly interact with the presenters themselves. As a result, attendees are able to gain a deeper understanding of fundamental theory and its application, as well as learn of new applications, all of which can be adopted to make them better EMC engineers. Teammates Jay Diepenbrock and Bob Scully were able to recruit skilled presentations highlighting eleven hardware experiments and six computer software demonstrations for this past August. Symposium attendees who made their way to the back of the exhibit hall to observe and participate were well-rewarded by the outstanding practitioners who brought their efforts forward.
