Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent Testing Options!
Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent EMC Testing Options! These Enclosures are used in Pre-Compliance testing of new electronic equipment in the developmental stage. They provide the perfect ambient-free environment necessary for this type of testing due to the "Faraday Cage Effect". The metalized conductive textiles used in making these enclosures block unwanted electromagnetic fields and waves inside of the enclosure. The Device Under Testing (DUT) can then be operated in a "clean RF environment" to determine if normal operation...

RF Testing in Space? How will that be Done?
RF Testing in Space? That seems like a strange question. Certainly, RF Testing in space is not being done to any great extent at this time. RF testing is done on earth for the spacecrafts and their components to make sure that their delicate electrical systems work smoothly together in space. RF testing in space seems like it could be a necessary thing to consider within the next decade. NASA's Artemis Program will return humans to the Moon in 2024. The...

What is Resistance Heating, What are its Applications?
What is Resistance Heating and What are its Applications? Resistance heating is heat generated by an electrical current passing through a resistor. The heat comes from electrical energy being converted to thermal energy. There are many applications for Resistance Heating: Aeronautics, Automotive, Military, and Smart Clothing industries to name a few. How is Resistance Heating Used in the Aeronautics Industry? In the aeronautics industry, resistance heating is used for de-icing the wings of aircraft in inclement weather. If the leading edges of airplane...

Compliance Test Tension? An RF Shielded Enclosure by V Technical Textiles, Inc. can Ease the Stress!
We all know that final EMI Compliance Testing can be a tense time. Time has been invested in development, design, prototyping, and now it is time to find out if your device is compliant with applicable ElectroMagnetic Compliance (EMC) standards. You drive the three hour trip to the testing site on your appointed day. Of course, the line has formed and "they're running a little behind today", so you wait for your turn. You hand your device over to the...

Portable RF Shielded Enclosures Provided Work from Home Applications During Covid-19
When Covid-19 hit North America in March, it closed down a lot of our businesses, but many businesses and individuals were able to continue to do work from home or other remote locations during the quarantine/social distancing period of this pandemic. The "Work From Home" #wfh group, were often able to continue their work with the use of RF Shielded Enclosures and pouches. One didn't need to be in the electronics development business to benefit from these enclosures. Government and Business...

The Constant Increase of Electronic Devices makes the Shielding Industry Very Important in Achieving EMC!
We have more electronic devices than ever before in this world, each of them adding to the invisible cloud of E-Smog that surrounds us all. More of these devices are being developed all of the time, with the development in cellular infrastructure for the 5G and 6G communications systems....yes, I said 6G!!! That doesn't include the aerospace and automotive industries as today's aircrafts and automobiles are essentially controlled and driven with the aid of complex electronic devices and the consumer...

What can Metalized Textiles do for You? Your Imagination is the only Limit!
Since the founding of V Technical Textiles, Inc., it has been the world's single largest distributor of electrically conductive fabrics and notions. Many people have no idea what metalized textiles are used for. When they first came out, metalized textiles were used largely in electrical manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, electronics industries as ESD carpeting, EMI shielded gaskets and quickly evolved into shielding materials in electronic devices to stop RF Interference from affecting the proper function of these sensitive electronic...
