Chairman’s MessageT.S. Rangarajan

From The Editor’s DeskH.R. Mohan

[email protected]: http://infoforuse.blogspot.comMy dear members

In the month gone by, I had the opportunityto address a few conferences conducted bycolleges. IEEE Madras Section has beensupporting conferences through technical andfinancial sponsorships every year. Financialsponsorship of conferences organized by studentbranches is now the biggest budgetary item of

IEEE Madras Section. Globally IEEE‘s revenues from conferencesaccounts for 35.2% and expenses towards conferences is 31.2%.

IEEE Madras Section over the years has been systematicallyaddressing the needs of various segments of its membership. We beganby focusing on students first – supporting student branch activities andstudent projects. We then moved on to teachers by organizing FacultyDevelopment Programs regularly. While we want to continue and enhancethese activities for students and teachers, I feel it is time for us to focuson researchers. Most of the engineering colleges currently affiliated touniversities are very keen to seed and incubate research in theirinstitutions.

Earlier the goal of researchers used to be ‘publish or perish’, whichhas now moved on to ‘patent or perish’. We want to see this further to‘produce or perish’ meaning encourage conversion of research outputs toproducts or services useful to society. This chain of activity from researchto product / service development through patenting and IPR protectionwill require handholding and setting up of common platforms for enablingthe transition.

Compared to its western counterparts the Indian education systemcontinues to operate in a silo with little or no interaction with industry inits educational and research activities. For institutions to emerge asfountainheads of societal development it is essential to discard the silotype operation and embrace an open, collaborative and multidisciplinaryapproach to education. It should be possible for people to seamlesslymove from institution to industry and vice versa thereby enriching both.

As a professional association with members from both institutionsand industry, I believe IEEE offers a unique platform to help its membersbridge this divide for the benefit of society, their institutions, their industry,their students and themselves. Recently IEEE Madras Section inconsultation with Region 10 has identified an Industry Relations Chairto focus on this aspect.

I welcome suggestions and feedback from both institutions andindustry on how IEEE Madras Section could address the institution –industry linkages with particular reference to helping researchers create,develop and produce solutions, products and services for the benefit ofour society.

Till next timeYours Voluntarily

Dear Friends,

Our chairman, in his message has highlightedthe need to extend support for research relatedactivities, as the Section has progressively met theneeds of the student centric activities and FacultyDevelopment Programmes, over that last few years.

This year, Section also desires to focus itsactivities on “Industry Relations”. Let us welcome Mr. Rajavel, ExecutiveVice President of L&T (ECC) and Chairman, IEEE IAS Chapter and PastVice-Chair of IEEE Madras Section who will spearhead this initiativefrom our Section.

We would like to emphasize our desire to promote online publishingusing our CMS based website. This month, we had received activity reportsfrom our student branches which would require not less than 24 pages asagainst our standard page limit of 12. We were forced to carry forward itemsto the next issue apart from editing the content mercilessly. We suggest thechairs & counselors of SBs to consider posting the event reports at theSection website. From next month onwards, the print newsletter will havethe reports published in the form of listing of activities to conserve space.As stated in our earlier issue, we wish to focus on publishing information“for use” rather than information “for record purposes”. Please feel free tovoice your views on this by email to the Section office at [email protected]/ [email protected] with a copy to [email protected]

In this issue, we have published the reports on events organizedby the following institutions: St. Xavier’s Catholic College of Engg; AmritaSchool of Engg; Asan Memorial College of Engg & Tech; AarupadaiVeedu Inst. of Tech; Jeppiaar Engg College; Coimbatore Inst. of Engg &Tech; Francis Xavier College of Engg; Kalasalingam University; MagnaCollege of Engg; Jansons Inst. of Tech; Easwari Engg College;M.

Distinguished Lecture

Chennai-Bangalore EMC Chapter

The NEW IEEE EMC Bangalore-Chennai Chapter, SAMEER-CEM, and theSociety of EMC Engineers (India) ChennaiChapter, held a joint meeting on the topic“Understanding EMC Design and TestChallenges Posed by Radiation and EmergingAutomotive EMC Test Requirements.”

The meeting was held on 7the March2012 at the SAMEER-CEM auditorium inChennai. A warm welcome was extended to thesome 50 attendees by the IEEE Madras SectionChair, T. S. Rangarajan and Dr. Subbarao ofSAMEER, the IEEE EMC SocietyMembership Coordinator for India.

Omar Ramahi, IEEE Fellow and EMCSociety Distinguished Lecturer, Omar Ramahiof the University of Waterloo, Canada,presented “What Causes Radiation?” Dr.Ramahi explained how the field of EMI/EMCshares its heritage with antenna and propagationengineers, on the one hand, and physicists on

the other. For the former group, much of the20th century was spent on developing ways topredict the radiation due to some source throughcomplex analytical and numerical schemes.Physicists, on the other hand, are interested inmaking the connection between the movementof the elementary charged particle, the electron,and the radiated field. Since the field of EMI/EMC engineering is related to a large degree toradiation, EMI/EMC engineers would naturallybe interested in the work of these two groups.However, EMI/EMC engineers have keeninterest in understanding which sources/currentsare the ones that cause radiation; a questionthat is typically ignored by the two groups ofphysicists and propagation engineers. After all,if the source of radiation is found, containing itbecomes easier than not knowing it in the firstplace. Dr. Ramahi answered in a most lucid waythe fundamental question of “what causesradiation” from a purely practical and engineeringrelevant perspective. He showed that powerfulnumerical schemes, circuit models, andanalytical techniques, while potentiallyproviding elegant and a full solution to theradiating problem, fail to highlight the physicalphenomenon of interest to EMI/EMC engineersin the first place unless careful attention is paidto... the fundamental sources of radiation!

After short refreshment break, Mr.Martin Wiles, RF and Microwave SolutionsConsultant with ETS-Lindgren, United

Kingdom presented “An Overview ofAutomotive EMC Anechoic Chambers.” Thiswas an invited presentation that tied into theAuto Testing Expo held the week of March 5 inChennai. Mr. Wiles explained that therequirements for testing to Automotive EMCstandards in anechoic chambers are varied. Theyalso differ from other EMC standards in thatthey have two categories of test at either thecomponent or vehicle level. The CISPR, SAE,ISO and EC standards are the most commonlyused. Since Automotive EMC vehicle testchambers can be some of the largest EMC testfacilities in existence, it is important to have agood understanding of the requirements of thecurrent standards before embarking on such aproject. Mr. Wiles explained how the emergingrequirements for Electric and Hybrid vehiclesare now adding further dimensions to thistesting.

Following the interesting presentations,attendees enjoyed interacting with the speakersand seminar organizers. An excellent lunchhosted by Agilent Technologies and ETS-Lindgren Engineering India Pvt. Ltd. concludedthe seminar.

The Chapter looks forward to holdingadditional successful events in the future. Formore information on the Chennai-BangaloreChapter, please contact: Mr. Parvez Javeed,IEEE EMC Society Membership Coordinator,India, [email protected]
