Dear Colleagues,

After five successful EMC Türkiye Conferences we are glad to inform you that everything is ready for the takeoff of EMC Türkiye 2021, The Sixth International EMC Conference to be held in Bahçesehir University (BAU) Istanbul during Sep 19 – 22, 2021 (www.emcturkiye.org) with the sponsorships of the IEEE EMC Society, IEEE Turkey Section, and the IEEE AP Istanbul Chapter. The papers s will be submitted to the IEEEXplore and IEEE digital library.

The First National EMC Conference was held at Dogus University between Sep 14-16, 2011. The two keynote speeches were, Prof. Christos Christopoulos’ Challenges of Computational Electromagnetics for EMC Applications and Prof. Pyotr YA. Ufimtsev’s Diffraction Principles in Stealth Technology.Dr. Christopoulos and Dr. Ufitmsev also had half-day short courses entitled Practical Issues in EMC Design and Fundamentals of Physical Theory of Diffraction, respectively. Aspects from design to market were discussed in nearly hundred papers.

The Second National EMC Conference was held at Isik University between Sep 9-11, 2013. In addition to more than 120 papers in regular sessions, Marcus Schicks from EM Software & Systems, Germany presented Different Numerical Methods for the Solution of Practical EMC Problems, Timothy Horacek from TESEQ, Switzerland presented EMC Testing for E-Marking Requirements Including New Additions Relevant to Electric Vehicles, Uwe Flor from EM TEST, USA presented New EMC Test requirements for Automotive; PHEV´s and Evs, Richard Weininger from Frankonia EMC, Germany presented EMC-Testing in E-Motor-Systems (component test), Donnie Gray from TDK, USA presented Absorber Performance and Advancement in Absorber Technology, Tabish Khan from AWR, UK presented Design and Optimization of 3D Connectors with EM Simulator, Adrian Matoi from EM TEST, USA presented New Immunity Test Procedures Against Low Frequency Supply Disturbances.

EMC Türkiye 2015, The Third International EMC Conference was held at Maslak Campus of Isik University between Sep 2-4, 2015 The two keynote speeches, entitled “EMC/EMI Effects in EM Systems and Their Mitigation: Three Case Examples” and “EM Modeling of Artificial Magnetic Conductors”were given by Dr. Raj Mittra (from Pennsylvania State University, USA) and Dr. Ahmed Kishk (from Concordia University, Canada), respectively. Extended versions of the selected papers were published in the special May 2016 issue entitled “Challenges in RF and Microwave Defense Engineering” of Wiley journal RF and Microwave Computer Aided Engineering (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mmce.v26.4/issuetoc).

EMC Türkiye 2017, The Fourth International EMC Conference was held at Middle East Technical University (METU) between Sep 24-27, 2017 and devoted to all aspects of EMC, from design to market, including EMC Measurements, EMC Management and Standards, Chip/ Package/PCB/Cables EMC, Immunity & Susceptibility, ESD & Transients, Shielding/Absorbing Materials, EMF Safety & Biomedical issues, Power System EMC, Power Electronics & Vehicles, with the emphasize on Automotive and Defense EMC issues. There were four short courses: Dr. Marco Klingler, from PSA Groupe (Peugeot – Citroen), France presented “An Introduction to Automotive EMC”. Dr. Sudhakar Rao, from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, USA, talked about “Advanced Antenna Systems for 21st Century Satellite Communication Systems”. Dr. Erdem Akpinar from Aselsan presented “MIL-STD-461 G Requirements and Applications”. Garth D’Abreu from ETS-LINDGREN, discussed “The Impact of Antennas and Sensors on Automotive EMC”. The two keynote speeches were: “EMC Issues of Tomorrow’s New Automotive Technologies – Impacts on Specifications, Design and Validations” by Dr. Marco Klingler and “Advanced Antenna Systems for 21st Century Satellite Communication Systems” by Dr. Sudhakar Rao.

EMC Türkiye 2019, The Fifth International EMC Conference took place in Gebze Technical University (GTU), KOCAELI between September 22 – 25, 2019. The Opening Speech “The Importance of EMC in High Density EM Environment” was given by Dr. Hayrullah Yildiz, Head of Microwave Products Business Line, REHIS / ASELSAN. The first keynote speaker was Dr. Zhang Yue PING, IEEE Fellow Member & DL of the IEEE AP-S, from Nanyang Technological University, SINGAPORE. His speech was entitled “Millimeter-wave Antenna-in-package Technology”. Dr. Ihsan ERDIN (Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE EMC-S), from Celestia Engineering Services, CANADA presented the second keynote talk entitled “Fundamentals and Advances in Power Integrity Modeling and Analysis Methods”. Dr. Ihsan ERDIN and Dr. Levent Sevgi also presented the short courses “Physical Insights and Analysis Methods for Signal Integrity in High-Speed Designs” and “From Design to Market: EMC Engineering”, respectively. The presented papers were posted on the IEEEXplore site (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/conferences/title?queryText=emc%20turkiye )

Dear colleague, I would like to invite you to submit a paper and attend the EMC Türkiye 2021. Please follow the deadlines on the conference web site www.emcturkiye.org.

Sincelerly,
Prof. Dr. Levent Sevgi
Chairman
