Hybrid – Ted Dangelmayer: Costly Controversial ESD Myths

Bldg: Main Cafeteria, Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood St, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438543

Abstract: There are several common misunderstandings and controversies that can have significant impact on costs, quality and reliability of ESD programs. These misunderstandings or "myths" result in costly unnecessary expenditures and/or a compromise of the program integrity. These same myths are often cited by skeptics who do not fully understand the physics involved. Consequently, it is important to identify and dispel these myths. Latency is a significant reliability consideration that is surrounded with controversy. Some experts will argue that latency is virtually non-existent while others claim that it is the dominant failure mode. Join us for this highly interactive discussion and learn about Latency as well as common myths such as: Myth: ANSI/ESD S20.20 Is Sufficient For Class 0 Technologies Myth: HBM Failures Dominate ESD Failures Myth: Circuit Boards are Always Less Sensitive to ESD than Devices Myth: Airflow Causes Charging Myth: Humidity Control is Essential for ESD Myth: Fieldmeters Make Accurate Measurements on Machines Myth: Latency Failures Comprise 90% of ESD Failures Co-sponsored by: ESDA NE Chapter Speaker(s): Ted Dangelmayer Agenda: 5:30 PM Pizza, salad, soda, and Networking 6:00 PM Technical Presentation 6:45 PM Questions and Answers 7:00 PM Adjournment Bldg: Main Cafeteria, Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood St, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438543

Prototyping amateur radio systems with SDR and Raspberry Pi

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443644

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 6:30 PM ET, the (https://www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will host a presentation on Prototyping amateur radio systems with SDR and Raspberry Pi. [] About the Topic This presentation will describe efforts to integrate USB Software-Defined Radio (SDR) modules with a Raspberry Pi 4 running the Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm) and open-source radio applications such as Software-Defined Receiver (GQRX) and weak signal communication software (WSJT-X) to create a modular portable amateur radio system. Radio and RF apps, including a GNU Radio FM receiver flowgraph, Quite Universal Circuit Simulator (Qucs) with microstrip RF filter layout simulation, an Octave OpenEMS electromagnetic field solver, a KiCad layout example, and Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller programming examples using the Arduino IDE and the VS Code IDE, are also explored.
