DESIGN
ADVISORY SERVICE |
The
following advisory—consulting services are
provided by Mr. King during system-product development.
These services are listed in the order of priority
that are recommended for the efficient application
of EMC design during execution of systems and
product developments. |
|
CONCEPTUAL
APPROACH |
The
most efficient point for initiation of EMC design
and control methodologies occurs during the conceptual
development of a product or system design. At
this phase, the functional definition and block-architectural
descriptions of the system-product are constructed
and established with electrical schematic diagrams.
The mechanical segment of the design and architecture
has been planned in concept. The electrical schematics,
project electrical and mechanical architectures,
would remain malleable. The design advisory service
is initiated by deriving the EMC common-mode architecture
from the system-product electrical and mechanical
architecture, as the primary phase of EMC and
system-product integration. Mr. King will provide
detailed reports and plans with action-item responsibilities
as a result of these processes. These reports
would include a schedule for periodic design reviews
as the development progresses. The benefits of
involving Mr. King at this phase is to: increase
objectivity of the design reviews and development
concepts; develop a “project team plan”
that will execute the system-product EMC architecture
as a whole view of integration; and, assure efficiency
of the implementations throughout the development-to-production
process with the goal of first-pass success. |
|
DEVELOPMENTAL
IMPLEMENTATION |
As
the development of the system-product evolves,
specific design reviews are performed by Mr. King.
This service phase results in detailed refinements
to the system-product which are then executed
into the designs, architecture, and integration.
These refinements are intended to optimize factors
such as system-product performance/compliance,
manufacturability, serviceability and related
costs. Specific layout details of circuit board
topologies, detailed reviews of mechanical and
electronic/electrical structures, interface definitions,
logic and signal partitions, are examples of services
provided in this phase of the developmental process. |
|
SYSTEMS
AND EMC PROJECT MANAGEMENT |
In
order to increase the efficiency of EMC project
management (or overall project management) for
technical staff, Mr. King may be commissioned
in a managerial responsibility. In this role,
he would become engaged as an adjunct manager
or advisor to corporate staff in order to smooth
the hardware development and managerial process.
On request, Mr. King can be engaged as a independent
reviewer of corporate or project policies and
processes. |
|
PRE-TEST
AND VERIFICATION TEST PROCESSES |
Either
as an extension of the developmental continuum
described above, or as an “after-the-fact”
(of development) involvement, Mr. King may be
engaged towards the conclusion of a system-product
development sequence. The typical purpose of engagement
at this phase of a project is to provide broad
design reviews and assist in the formulation and
planning of the evaluation test and verification
processes. When planned from the conceptual phase
of development, this is a natural extension of
the over-view functions that may be provided by
Mr. King as an objective advisor. Mr. King may
also provide support services during pre-test
evaluations as well as verification tests at measurement
laboratories. |
|
POST-DEVELOPMENT
EVALUATIONS |
Evaluation
services that are provided, subsequent to the
development of a system, are efficient when they
relate to a project that has been verified in
performance, but is subject to cost-reductions
or production efficiency studies |
Separately,
Mr. King may be engaged “after-the-fact”
of any project design, to quickly and efficiently
detect, analyze, and resolve any EMC-related performance
or compliance issues that may be found during
test evaluations. |
