About Joanna McLellan and EMC Productivity

Joanna and her husband Dave McLellan live in Holly, Michigan, with their dog Dora. Dave is a mechanical engineer and continues to work as a consultant after retiring from GM as Chief Engineer of the Corvette.

Borrowing from Wikipedia, “The design engineer usually works with a team of engineers and other designers to develop conceptual and detailed designs that ensure a product actually functions, performs and is fit for its purpose.” And again borrowing from Wikipedia, A test engineer is a professional who determines how to create a process that would best test a particular product. These definitions hold true for EMC.

If you need someone to test a product for EMC, you need an EMC Test Engineer. If you need someone to design test equipment and products to pass EMC requirements, you need an EMC Design Engineer.

Joanna is an EMC Design Engineer and graduated from Georgia Tech in 1976 with a MSEE and from Florida Tech in 1975 with a BSEE. With over forty years of experience as an electrical engineer her goal is to keep the spectrum free of unintended harmful radio interference enabling the wirelessly connected world most take for granted.

In the Matter of Lithia Toyota

On January 9, 2018, Lithia Toyota was ordered by the FCC to turn the lights off. Induction lighting devices were causing harmful interference to LTE radio communications. Noncompliance would result in fines of $16,000 per day. (Citation and Order DA 18-18).

Close the Skills Gap

Colleges and universities teach circuit theory giving electrical engineers the ability to resolve issues to 100 KHz, but the EMC spectrum extends well past 1 GHz creating a skills gap. We can fill this gap by pointing out the implications of the pesky slow speed of light.
