On Jan 1, 2008, I was appointed a distinguished lecturer for the IEEE EMC society. I get to go around giving talks on Signal Integrity and EMI to any local EMC society group that invites me. As sort of the kickoff action, Prof Jun Fan of The Missouri University of Science and Technology, formerly UM Rolla, invited me to come down for the day and video tape a few of my lectures.

I presented two lectures, The Ten Habits of Highly Successful Designers, and The Three Most Confusing Topics in Signal Integrity. The slides from both of these talks are available for download on my web site. This was my first chance to use a blue screen in giving a talk and boy was it cool.

It was the first time I could “be the signal” and literally walk along the transmission line on the screen, asking what the impedance the signal sees. If anyone is interested in having me present to their local EMC society group, drop me an email. I can present any of the talks I have on my web site.
