ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering
Henry W. Ott is President and Principal Consultant of Henry Ott Consultants (www.hottconsultants.com), an
EMC training and consulting organization. He has literally “written the book” on the subject of EMC and is
a course in noise and interference control in electronic systems
considered by many to be the nation’s leading EMC educator. He is the author of the popular EMC book Noise
Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems (1976, 1988). Th e book has sold over 65,000 copies and has been
translated into six other languages. In addition to knowing his subject, Mr. Ott has the rare ability to communicate
that knowledge to others.
May 24 - 26, 2011 Westford Regency, Westford MA
Mr. Ott’s newly published (Aug. 2009) 872-page book, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering, is the most
comprehensive book available on EMC. While still retaining the core information that made Noise Reduction
Techniques an international success, this new book contains over 600 pages of new and revised material.
Prior to starting his own consulting company, Mr. Ott was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany, NJ for 30 years, where he was a
