Lecture
Exceptional point (EP) electronics is a new and exciting field of circuit design. This talk aims to demystify the concept of exceptional points and their practical applications in electronic systems, making it accessible to working engineers without delving deeply into complex mathematics.
EP electronics have two or more coupled resonant tank circuits in which gains and losses balance automatically. The advantages of EP electronics are robust wireless power transfer and enhanced sensitivity to small signal inputs. This presentation will describe the history of these devices from their inception in the 1990's and then go through some basic circuit topologies and demonstrations of their capabilities.
Attendees will gain insights into:
- The basic principles of exceptional points and their significance in electronics.
- Practical applications of EPs in improving device performance.
- Case studies showcasing successful implementations of EP-based designs.
This session is designed to provide engineers with a clear and practical understanding of exceptional points without the need for extensive mathematical background.

Notes
There is no cost to attend this meeting, however, if you are a NYS Professional Engineer and would like to receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) of continuing education credit, then payment of a $15 fee is required. You will also have to properly fill out an Evaluation Form to prove that you attended this lecture. Click here to open the form. Simply fill it out and click on the “Submit” button.
We accept electronic payment via Zelle. Zelle is a bank-to-bank transfer mechanism supported by most banks, without a fee, as part of their normal online banking capabilities. There is also a Zelle app available for your smartphone.
When you use Zelle with your bank, it will ask for the following information: 1) the amount to send (enter $15.00), 2) what account you want to pull the money from (select whatever account you want to use), and 3) the phone number or email of the recipient (enter ieeelicn@gmail.com. Don’t worry if you see the name of our Treasurer, David Rost, pop up). If it asks for a memo field, we suggest entering "yymmdd LICN CEU” where yymmdd are the year, month and date of the lecture.
While we prefer that your payment and evaluation form are received by the day of the lecture, they must be received by the first Monday after the lecture.
If paying by Zelle is a problem for you, then please contact Ed Gellender at edgellender@gmail.com for an alternate payment method.
