Solar Activity is Increasing, How to Protect Yourself from an EMP

Scientists are increasingly observing more and more sunspots on the Sun’s surface. This increase in space weather has the potential to cause electromagnetic pulses (EMP), or sudden bursts of electromagnetic (EM) energy, leading to major disruptions here on Earth. Increasing Solar Activity Space weather is an all-encompassing term for the variations in the space environment […]

EMC Compliance Testing of Electronic Medical Devices

Electronic medical devices are complex instruments. They can not only keep hearts pumping and continuously monitor blood glucose levels, but they also have to keep working without fail in complicated electromagnetic (EM) environments. To keep patients safe, all electronic medical devices must meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. Definitions The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) […]

PECVD: Revolutionizing Thin Film Deposition

Semiconductors are becoming an essential part of technological advancement. People use semiconductors in electronics, communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, and transportation. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is one way to manufacture semiconductors. The PECVD method offers the semiconductor industry a reliable and reproducible process but that’s not all, it can also be used to […]

Aircraft Lightning Certification using the FDTD Simulation Method

Lightning is just about the width of your thumb, but it can lead to fires, damage, and fried electronics. Lightning strikes an aircraft by lightning every 1,000 flight hours. This is why it is crucial for an aircraft to achieve lightning certification before it ever leaves the ground. When lightning strikes an aircraft the lightning […]

Five Steps to Easier Full Vehicle Simulation, including Cables

Vehicles are evolving to become more technologically advanced. Thousands of individual conductors organized into hundreds of individual cable harness segments now make up the guts of a vehicle. All of the electromagnetic (EM) components make evaluating vehicle performance more difficult because they require including all critical cable conductors and harness elements. Emissions, susceptibility, and coupling […]

Rethinking Optics- How EMA is Supporting the Push for Metalenses

Most of us use a smartphone daily. It lets us connect with loved ones, send emails on the go, and take pictures wherever we are. Today’s smartphone cameras are producing quality images, closing the gap between phones and traditional cameras. Built-in cameras, more specifically the lens system, are one of the most expensive parts of […]
