Doug C. Smith, NCE
M.S.E.E. California Institute of Technology
Doug's consulting activities focus on design verification and problems at the system, circuit, and device level as well as EMC and immunity (including ESD) problems. By applying specialized knowledge and measurement technology that Doug Smith has developed over the years, often, Doug solves design or field problems in a much smaller amount of time that would take engineers weeks, months or years of effort using conventional engineering methods of investigation.
Systems and designs Doug performs include:
— Card Terminals
— Semiconductor processing equipment
— Semiconductor device design and verification
— Lightwave transmission equipment
— Wireless Equipment includes:
Cellular phones and base station equipment
Cordless Phones
Information Technology Equipment
Telephone Switching Systems
— Shielded and Unshielded Data Transmission Systems
— Medical Equipment
— Air Traffic Control Equipment
— Industrial Control Equipment
— Network File Servers
Doug will apply high frequency measurement techniques on-site to problems both to find the problem and to give the client the tools needed to understand and avoid problems in the future. Problems he has solved include: signal integrity, electromagnetic emissions, immunity to ESD and electrical fast transients, and immunity to sources of noise for which there are no current standards. If your system is experiencing unexplained glitches, data loss, or malfunctions, Doug Smith can be an invaluable resource to your organization. Providing design techniques and verification measurement methods for proactive avoidance of noise, immunity, or EMC problems are also part of Doug’s services for clients.
