New Electronic Device? It has to “Play by EMC Rules”!
New Electronic Device? It has to "Play by EMC Rules"! Electronic Devices are usually made to make our lives easier. EMC standards are necessary for devices to work together smoothly. These standards deal with RF emission, susceptibility, and immunity. RF emissions are a byproduct of an electrical device. All electrical devices produce these emissions. The key is keeping the electromagnetic environment consistent for all devices. This environment is achieved by insisting each device meets EMC Standards. New Electronic Device? It has...

Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start!
Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start! Developing a new electronic product is challenging. There are many components in most devices. These components must work together in a shared electronic environment. This environment must allow all components to function optimally TOGETHER. EMC is obtained by fine tuning the components during development. A coach develops a team, making sure plays work in training before the big game. The coaches work with each player, making sure they can execute their job...

EMC Testing made easy, VTT has an EMC Testing Enclosure for You!
EMC Testing made easy! EMC testing used to be difficult in many ways. The Certified Testing Facilities were few and far between. Testing schedules were full, and the testing was expensive. Unfortunately, all of the above-mentioned conditions are still true. The advent of portable EMC Testing Enclosures eased things. Pre-Compliance testing can now be accomplished in your own facility! Testing can also be done "early and often" during development! This Pre-Compliance testing allows EMC problems to be corrected BEFORE they...

Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now!
Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now! The business year is coming to a close. A New Year is just around the corner! Now is the time to plan for next year's needs! Your products, testing standards, and materials are going to change. Time waits for no one; it marches steadily forward. The general types of EMC testing will remain the same: Emissions- The amount of RFI that the Device Under Testing (DUT) is allowed to emit may decrease. ...

EMC Testing “Early and Often”, makes great Sense in Product Development!
EMC Testing "Early and Often" makes great sense in product development! In today's environment of complex electronic devices, EMC is paramount! All the components must work smoothly together to make a great product! Too much RF noise can decrease the function of a device. EVERY device emits RF/EMI noise. There are EMC standards in every industry, automotive, aerospace, and the military. A device must live up to the appropriate EMC standards in order to be used. EMC Testing "Early and Often"...

What is Conductive Velcro? What is Conductive Velcro used for?
What is Conductive Velcro? What is Conductive Velcro and How is it used? Conductive Hook and Loop is the same product that we all know as Velcro, the only difference being is that it is made electrically conductive by coating the small hooks and loops that make it up with a conductive metal. The conductive metal used in Shieldex® Conductive Hook and Loop is 99% pure Silver. Silver is the best metal conductor of electricity. What is Conductive Hook and Loop used...

Testing Electronic Devices for EMC, Try a Portable RF Shielded Enclosure!
Testing Electronic Devices for EMC, try a Portable RF Shielded Enclosure! Testing Electronic Devices for EMC, try a Portable RF Shielded Enclosure! All electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves. This is a fact of life in the electronics industry. Unfortunately, these electromagnetic waves can interfere with other electrical devices. To avoid interfering with other components, emission standards have been developed. In order for an electronic component to be sold, the component must conform with these standards. It is smart business to test...
