OPEN DOORS 2026 Porto

Speaker: Arturo Mediano, HF Magic Lab S.L. and Zaragoza University

Power electronics design demands a perfect balance between simulation accuracy and laboratory reality, supported by a disciplined workflow where experience is the differentiating factor. 
In this session, we will immerse ourselves in the complete cycle of designing, simulating, and validating a real-world system. We will demonstrate how high-performance instrumentation is not merely a verification tool, but an essential source of information for optimizing every stage. 
We will perform voltage, current, and power measurements using everything from passive and differential probes to Hall effect and Rogowski sensors. Additionally, we will see the optical probe in action—the definitive solution for high dv/dt environments—while analyzing the pros and cons of each technology. 
This session is designed for engineers looking to elevate the reliability and performance of their designs through advanced measurement methodologies.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) debugging, including the localization of intermittent failures, can be frustrating without a solid strategy. This seminar covers the fundamentals of practical EMI/EMC design and troubleshooting, utilizing state-of-the-art oscilloscopes to analyze circuits in both the time and frequency domains.
We will review the use of voltage, current, and near-field probes, Line Impedance Stabilization Networks (LISN), and antennas, combined with best-practice tips for modern high-performance scopes. A live practical demo will be featured to showcase the effectiveness of these techniques on a real-world product.
Given its hands-on orientation, this seminar is highly valuable for electronic designers—particularly those who must solve EMI/EMC challenges daily to ensure compliance with stringent Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations.

In non terrestrial network (NTN) environments, a single platform that faithfully reproduces the space borne complexity is vital for device and subsystem validation.
The CMX500 serves as a high fidelity digital twin of the sky, emulating satellite constellations, variable propagation delays and dynamic Doppler shifts, while also embedding realistic fading profiles.
The SMW200A delivers phase coherent signals and natively combines a fading and AWGN emulator, offering highly configurable channel scenarios for both conducted and OTA antenna chamber measurements.
The FSWX is the first multichannel signal and spectrum analyzer on the market. The possibility to make phase coherence measurements of multiple inputs time synchronously, expands new possibilities for the following applications: assess the performance of amplifiers, downconverters and upconverters, characterization of complex radar systems or jamming scenarios, optimizing antenna arrays, MIMO measurements..

TEMPEST represents one of the most fascinating—and often most cryptic—fields at the intersection of cybersecurity and electronic design. In this session, we will explore the challenge of controlling unintended electromagnetic emanations to ensure that, beyond conventional EMC issues, they cannot be exploited to extract sensitive information from a distance. Following a very brief historical overview, we will analyze why this field is more critical than ever and the real-world threats it poses today to governments, critical infrastructure, and consumer products.
The session includes a hands-on demonstration where we will witness the vulnerability of everyday devices to interception techniques using surprisingly simple equipment. We will see in real-time how these electromagnetic "leaks" act as covert channels, revealing data that was never intended to leave the original system.
We will conclude with key takeaways, mitigation strategies, and a strategic reflection on how engineers and security experts can shield their designs to reduce exposure on this invisible front.
