EMC KOREA 2024 was held on the 11th at the KAIST Munji Campus Specs Hall, hosted by the EMC Technology Research Group of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science.

EMC KOREA 2024, held under the theme of 'EMC Present and Future', has been held since 1999 and is now in its 26th year, establishing itself as an important milestone in EMC technology research.

In his opening remarks, EMC Technology Research Association Chairman Kim Jong-hoon, who hosted the event, said, “The EMC Technology Research Association is a place for experts to gather and share technologies related to EMC,” and “We continue to exchange technologies by talking about and discussing each other’s knowledge.”

Cho Chun-sik, President of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, said, “EMC design and countermeasure technology requires more in-depth research than any other field.He emphasized in his congratulatory speech that “unchanging affection is needed,” and that “the importance of EMC countermeasure technology is growing due to the recent rapid development in the aerospace and defense fields, including EMC countermeasures, material technology, and standard specifications.”

At the EMC Merit Award, Professor Emeritus Park Byeong-gwon of Daerim University received a plaque of appreciation, and at the EMCIS EMC Scholarship Awards Ceremony, a total of 10 college and graduate school students, including Kang Dong-wan (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology), Kim Min-jae (Seoul National University), and Kim In-hwan (Yonsei University), were awarded scholarships of 1 million won each and scholarship certificates.

They are all future talents studying EMI/EMC-related fields, and CEO Kim Chul-soo of EMSIS has been supporting scholarships to foster talents in the EMC technology field since 2013, and the total accumulated scholarships to date have exceeded 100 million won.

This year, Professor Daryl Beetner, Director of the EMC Center at the University of Missouri, gave a keynote address titled “Measurement and Modeling of Electrostatic Discharge Phenomena and Effects.”

Next, various EMC-related latest technologies and trends were presented in various industrial fields, including △EMI reduction methods in mobile DRAMs by Kim Tae-ho, head of Samsung Electronics, △EMC analysis solutions for development of next-generation electrical and electronic devices by Dr. Kim Ji-won of Taesung SNE, and △Trends in electromagnetic compatibility standards for autonomous vehicles by Kim Won-jin, CEO of Wongenuine.

In the tutorial session, Professor Yoon Ik-jae of Chungnam National University led the filtering session, and Professor Kim Jin-guk of UNIST led the filtering session. In the second part, Professor Kim Ji-seong of KAIST led the session, and Professor Park Hyeon-ho of Suwon University presented on the principles of electromagnetic shielding and absorption of materials and measurement technology.

The corporate exhibition booths held as a side event included EM Core Tech, Daehan Shield Engineering, KH Electronics, Huwin, HC City, Emack Tech, Noise Korea, and R&C, displaying various EMI/EMC solutions, measurement, electromagnetic waves, and other products and solutions. They were being introduced.

On this day, Professor Kim Jeong-ho of KAIST said, “As we enter the AI era, AI supercomputers with hundreds of computers connected are being created, and signal integrity (SI) and heat generation are emerging as key issues due to technological limitations.” He added, “HBM-GPU, GPU-GPU “In the process of exchanging communications, signal integrity is what ultimately determines the quality of the communication,” he said.

Such invisible deep technologies are expected to be the foundation technologies and final puzzle pieces that will complete future cutting-edge industries, and in particular, EMI/EMC is an essential element in product development, and demand is expected to increase due to increased integration, miniaturization, and wireless adoption. This is the current situation.
