Identifying and Mitigating RF Interference (RFI) for Cell Phones, Aircraft Carriers, and Everything in Between

Radio Frequency (RF) systems represent one of the most critical technology areas today. Without RF systems, all types of vehicles cannot navigate, communication cannot occur, advanced weapons cannot hit their targets, and the world as we know it would grind to a halt. Given the extreme importance of RF systems, they must perform as intended in a wide variety of environments where unintentional and intentional signals may jam, degrade or spoof their intended performance. Further, the design or upgrade of new or existing platforms, networks and systems must ensure that their own RF systems do not degrade the performance of other RF systems on the same or nearby platforms due to interference. Such RF interference problems cost the military and commercial customers millions of dollars every year in redesign, product recalls, product release delays, lawsuits, and extra testing. These problems can be avoided and a great deal of money can be saved by analyzing new designs and proposed changes to existing systems as soon as possible. In this webinar, we will show how EMA provides customers with critical insight to the behavior of their RF components, which allows the customer to anticipate and avoid interference problems. Specifically, we will show how knowledge of the out-of-band performance of antennas, filters and RF systems (i.e., transmitters and receivers) allows for surgical mitigation of RF interference. This information provides customers with a distinct advantage when selecting and integrating RF components.

Speaker: Matt Miller
EMA Co-Owner and Principal RF Engineer II

Matt Miller is a Principal RF Engineer II and co-owner at Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc. where he provides analysis services for radio frequency interference (RFI), installed antenna performance and radar signature prediction. Mr. Miller has 26 years of experience in electromagnetics. Mr. Miller worked for The Boeing Company from 1998-2001 as an Electromagnetic Effects (EME) engineer. From 2001-2005, Mr. Miller worked for SAIC-DEMACO as a Research Scientist supporting the Xpatch, Urbana, Apatch, and AntFarm simulation products. In 2005, Mr. Miller co-founded Delcross Technologies, LLC where he served as the President. Delcross developed commercial simulation tools for RF interference, installed antenna performance and radar signature prediction including the EMIT software for RFI problems and the Savant/SBR+ solver for simulating the installed performance of antennas mounted to electrically large structures. In 2015, ANSYS Inc. acquired essentially all of the assets of Delcross Technologies. Matt joined EMA in 2017. He has worked on numerous RFI analysis projects for military and commercial customers for air, space, land and sea platforms during his career.
