Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Practical!
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Practical! No one likes to do the same job twice! It's not efficient because it is a true waste of time. Making sure the job's done right the first time is the best way to proceed. This is especially true in electronic components. Electric components are made up of multiple electronic devices, working together smoothly. Everyone knows that every electronic device has to pass EMC compliance testing before it can go to market. EMC is achieved when all...

Standards are necessary for EMC!
Standards are necessary for EMC! Electronic devices working in a shared electronic environment must be able to perform optimally in that environment. In order for this to happen, the shared environment must meet certain "standards". Imagine expecting a human being able to live in an environment without oxygen. It's NOT going to happen! Similarly, electronic devices require an environment with limited range of RFI frequency emissions. RFI above a certain "standard level" will hinder a device's performance. A "standard limit"...

Shielding RF/EMI allows Electronic Teamwork!
Shielding RF/EMI allows Electronic Teamwork! Electronic components consist of several electronic devices working together toward a common result. All electronic devices create electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields can be the source of "noise" that can affect the function of another nearby device or devices in the component. Noise produces a "toxic effect" on the shared electronic environment of the component, making it function below its capability. In order for the devices to be "compatible" with each other, there must be standards...

EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony!
EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony! All electronic devices produce electromagnetic emissions. Electromagnetic emissions of every electronic device have to meet applicable standards. Emissions outside of the standards interfere with function of other devices in the component. Devices must be in compliance with EMC standards in order to be marketed. EMC Compliance testing insures a harmonious shared electronic environment for optimal device performance. EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony! EMC Compliance testing consists of three tests: Emissions- The Device Under Testing (DUT) is tested to...

Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles!
Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles! Conductive textiles are thin and lightweight. Normally, these are excellent characteristics for many of their uses. Metalized textiles are used in many electronic devices for shielding. Electronic technology is becoming smaller all the time. Shielding solutions must be flexible and adaptable to fit in tight spaces. However, there are times that rugged characteristics are important. Due to their fine structure, conductive textiles are usually not particularly durable. The delicate nature of these shielding giants...

EMC Compliance Testing-“Prep” your Product!
EMC Compliance Testing-"Prep" your Product! EMC Compliance testing is often the final obstacle to product marketing. It's important to prepare your product for this test! Best Practice for Final EMC Compliance Testing is Pre-Compliance EMC Testing! Pre-Compliance Testing at your own facility beginning early in development is great preparation! This allows identification and mitigation of problems during every step of development. Backtracking to find problems is time consuming and frustrating! Products developed in this way will likely pass Final Compliance...
