As the fields of electricity, electronics, broadcasting, and communications continue to develop, the use of radio waves is increasing. As the electromagnetic environment becomes more complex, the influence of equipment and systems is increasing, and the importance of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) technology is increasing day by day. In this context, a place for knowledge exchange between industry, academia, and research has opened, where experts working in various fields of domestic industry, academia, and research can contribute to the development of EMC technology.

EMC KOREA 2022, hosted by the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, was held on the 14th in the conference room of the Korea Science and Technology Hall. This event, now in its 24th year, shared EMC data on artificial intelligence and autonomous driving in preparation for the era of digital transformation in the era of technological hegemony competition.

Professor Kim Ji-seong of Suwon Science University, chairman of the EMC Technology Research Group of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, which hosted EMC KOREA 2022, said in his opening speech, “EMC KOREA is a representative domestic EMC event held annually by the EMC Technology Research Group, and this year is its 24th year.” He added, “The EMI/EMC industry exhibition and tutorial sessions that had been scaled back due to COVID-19 have been revived, making the program richer.”

Park Sung-wook, the president of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, said in his opening remarks, “The society, which is celebrating its 33rd anniversary, has been rooted in EMC and has served as the focal point for domestic electromagnetic wave-related studies and policies.” He added, “I hope that this workshop will serve as a venue for exchange to share knowledge and experience in the field of new technologies.”

Professor Ki-Jin Han of Dongguk University served as the moderator for the invited lecture, and Professor Madhavan Swaminathan of Georgia Institute of Technology was invited to give a lecture on machine learning design for signal integrity (SI), power delivery, and EMC.

In the technical sessions covering new EMC technologies that followed, the following sessions were presented: △ EMC New Technology I Session Using AI Technology in the Semiconductor/CE/Mobile Fields △ EMC New Technology II Session in the Automobile/Industrial Fields.

In EMC New Technology I, we conducted research on △Machine Learning Based Source Reconstruction for EMI Modeling and Analysis by Professor Hwang Cheol-soon of the University of Missouri, △SI/PI design using AI technology by KAIST doctoral candidate Park Hyeon-wook, and △EMI filter 3D modeling and verification of attenuation characteristics by LG Electronics senior researcher Koh Seong-hyeon.

EMC New Technology II is a modeling and analysis of noise from Conducted Emission of electric components conducted by Song Chi-eok, a senior researcher at Hyundai Mobis, to ensure consistency. Interpretation technology △ HCT Director Kim Won-jin shared trends in autonomous driving and electric vehicle electromagnetic compatibility standards △ Korea Industrial Technology Testing and Research Institute Center Director Yoon Sang-wook shared performance evaluation methods for electromagnetic shielding materials and trends in international standardization.

In addition, tutorial sessions were held in the conference room that afternoon. Professor Jin-Guk Kim of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology conducted the conductive emission session, and Dr. Jong-Hoon Kim conducted the radiative emission session.
Outside the lecture hall, EMI/EMC related companies showcased various EMI/EMC solutions and product lines, including measuring instruments, shielding materials, electromagnetic wave resistant components, anechoic chamber materials, and high-speed interconnect analyzers.

On this day, around 20 companies including EMSIS, Sensorview, Noisetech, EMCoretech, R&C, Emactech, HCAA, EMC Solution, Teledyne LeCroy, Huwin, Nineplus IT, Daehan Shield Engineering, Rohde & Schwarz Korea, Noisekorea, Nopion, Icespec, HCIT, Winintech, Iretech, and Korea Automobile Research Institute participated in the exhibition, providing a wealth of things to see.

Professor Kim Ji-seong said on this day, “As products such as electric vehicles, 5G, and 6G change, the role of the EMC Technology Research Society is to respond by researching EMC countermeasure technologies and presenting roadmaps.” He added, “This year, it was conducted as a single session, but we plan to expand it to a multi-session in the future, and we are also considering hosting an international academic conference at EMC KOREA.” He revealed his future vision.

Meanwhile, the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science is preparing for the Summer Academic Conference to be held in Jeju Island in August. The 10th Summer Academic Conference is expected to have approximately 820 papers presented and 1,300 experts from various fields in attendance.
