Welcome to the
Dallas Chapter, IEEE/EMC Society, web site. Our chapter membership
consists of EMC Engineers and Technicians, local sales representatives for
manufacturers of EMC-related products, and other persons who have an
interest in ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. Our goal is to expand our
knowledge of the control of ElectroMagnetic Interference by sharing our
experiences and learning more about EMC from acknowledged experts in this
exciting field.
Our
meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of each month except we
generally break for summer during June, July and August. Occasionally, the meeting time may be changed to accommodate
the busy schedule of a guest speaker.
For
your convenience, on all pages of this web site, the IEEE, Dallas IEEE
Section, and the EMC Society logos are active links to those
organizations. This was done to facilitate access to the
IEEE home page, to other IEEE society chapters in the Dallas area and
to the Dallas IEEE Section Direction
newsletter, and to other chapters in the EMC Society.
While
IEEE membership is not a requirement for attending our meetings, their are
many benefits when you become a member of IEEE and we encourage you to do
so to take advantage of those benefits. Please "click"

Edward F. Vance (IEEE Member 1957 - Senior Member 1979 - Fellow 1990), a native of Tarrant County, TX, received the B.S.E. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1954 and the M.S.E.E. degree from the University of Denver, Denver, CO, in 1958. From 1954 to 1956 he was a Design Engineer at North American Aviation (now Rockwell international). From 1956 to 1959 he was at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Denver. From 1959 through 1994 he was with SRI International, Menlo Park, CA, although since 1974 he maintained his office at Fort Worth, TX. At SRI he performed research on electrostatic charging of aircraft and rockets, electrostatic initiation of electroexplosive devices and electrical breakdown of air and vacuum. For over 25 years he was active in research and development on nuclear EMP and other transient interaction with systems and in the application and standardization of EMP protection. He contributed to several EMP handbooks and served on Department of Defense advisory panels on system hardening. When he retired from SRI he was a Senior Principal Scientist.
At the 1986 National EMP Meeting Mr. Vance was elected an EMP Fellow. Mr. Vance is the author of the book Coupling to Shielded Cables, and is the author or coauthor of numerous journal and conference papers, and over fifty SRI technical reports.
Mr. Vance served as chairman for the IEEE International Symposium On Electromagnetic Compatibility in 1993 in Dallas (hosted by the Dallas EMC Society chapter).
Mr. Vance was named an IEEE Life Fellow in 1990 for contributions to the development of transient interference analysis and control (The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in the profession and shall be conferred by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest).
Mr. Vance was the recipient of the following IEEE EMC Society awards:
-
1992 Certificate of Appreciation (to recognize a significant contribution to the administration and overall success of the EMC Society)
-
1981 Technical Achievement Award (to recognize technical accomplishments in the field of Electromagnetic Compatibility)
-
