2020 IEEE International Virtual Symposium on EMC+SIPI: Review of the experiments and demonstrations program

EMC and Signal Integrity/Power Integrity (SIPI) hardware experiments and demonstrations have been a very popular symposium event, thanks to Andy Drozd who initiated it 28 years ago. This year, in spite of the many challenges faced by everyone, was no exception. Five of the eight excellent Experiments and Demonstrations we had this year made it into the "Top 5 Best Attended Sessions" listing, and two of them made it into the "Top On-Demand Sessions" listing. The event's purpose is to demonstrate important, fundamental EMC and SIPI topics and contemporary areas of interest through practical experiments and demonstrations that may be based on hardware configurations, software programming, or a combination of both. These practical, hands-on experiments and demonstrations enable attendees, newbies as well as grizzled veterans, to gain a deeper understanding of fundamental theory and its application, as well as learn of new applications, all of which can be adopted to make them better EMC and/or SIPI engineers. For the virtual symposium this year, many of these demonstrations were available in video format. Following is a summary of the fine presentations offered during the 2020 IEEE International Virtual Symposium on EMC+SIPI.
