Megastructures-RF Shielded Enclosures for Giants!

Large RF Shielded Enclosures-Giants!

Large RF Shielded Enclosures-Giants!  I always say that VTT fabricates RF Shielded Enclosures to satisfy the needs of our customers, whether it's as small as our 3D Pouch, our "small test lab", or a much larger one.   This year, we are receiving orders for "Testing Megastructures", very large testing enclosures.  RF Shielded enclosures provide the low ambient RF environment required for Pre-Compliance EMC testing.  The size of the testing enclosure is typically dependent on the size of the Device Under...
RF Shielded Bags-Protection and Security!

Small RF Shielded Enclosures-Petite!

Small RF Shielded Enclosures-Petite!  RF Shielded Enclosures come in all sizes, from Megastructures to Gusseted bags!  VTT is able to create RF Shielded Enclosures to satisfy their customer's needs.  Electronic devices come in all sizes and must pass EMC Final Compliance Testing in order to be marketed.  The Gusseted Bag is a small RF Shielded Test chamber that provides the low ambient RF environment required to perform EMC Testing.  The bag, fabricated using conductive textiles, creates a Faraday Cage, blocking external...
Versatile RF Shielded Curtains-many uses!

Require Isolation- RF Curtains work!

Require Isolation-RF Curtains work!  When RF Isolation is necessary during an electronic system diagnosis and repair there often isn't a large enough RF Shielded Enclosure present.  Isolation may be possible by using an array of several RF Shielded Curtains.  This approach facilitates diagnosis and repair in situ, where it originally arose.  There are many situations that require RF isolation.   Warehouses and storage facilities where inventory management involves constant monitoring with RFID.  In order to avoid " RFID crosstalk" between the...
Conductivity, Flexibility, Durability-TPU Yarn!"!

Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn!

Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn!  We usually think of metallic wires to carry current in electronics.  When we talk about smart clothing, metal wire has many drawbacks.   Flexibility is very important in clothing, people move in many directions, wire doesn't!  Wire is great with conductivity, but not great at repetitive flexing!  In fact, constant flexing causes stress cracks and failure of metal wires, which is not acceptable in smart clothing. Clothing has to move smoothly and comfortably, paralleling the movement...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Made for You!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Made for You!  RF Shielded Enclosures are used for testing electronic devices, mainly for EMC Compliance testing.  EMC testing requires a low-ambient RF environment.  Portable RF Shielded Enclosures provide this unique environment using the Faraday Principle.  The Faraday Principle states that the fields within a conductive material cancel out  any external fields, making the electric field inside the conductive material enclosure zero.  The walls of a soft sided RF Shielded consist of conductive fabric, satisfying the requirements of...
Conductive Metalized Textiles-Great Shielding!

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!

Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles!  The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied.  Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation.  Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly.  RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device.  Engineers love the flexibility of conductive textiles in...
Testing Times demand logical Preparation!

Testing Times demand logical Preparation!

Testing Times demand logical Preparation!  So many things in our lives depend on test results!  In my case, my Dental License depended on my Dental Board Exam results, passing is necessary to license!  In the world of electronic devices, passing Final EMC Compliance Testing is necessary to market the device.  Logical preparation dictates testing your device often during development in preparation for the "big day"!  You know the EMC standards that your device must meet.  Pre-Compliance EMC Testing in your...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing- Beneficial!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!  There are many important tests in life!  Smart preparation makes tests easier to pass!  If you are developing new electronic products for the market, you know that passing a Final EMC Compliance Test is necessary to market your product.  Final Compliance Certification means that your product will fit in smoothly with the shared electromagnetic environment that it will function in.  The best way to prepare your device for the Final EMC Compliance test is to perform...
Faraday Pouches-Safeguarding your Data in a Wireless World!

RF Shielded Pouches protect your Privacy!

RF Shielded Pouches protect your Privacy!  We live in a digital world where we can access our information easily from our electronic devices.  The problem with that is that there are "digital criminals" out there trying to hack your devices for nefarious reasons.   Identity theft, fraudulent emails asking for you to give your private information for any number of reasons.  Credit Card numbers, bank account numbers, and even your identity information are what they're after.  Identity theft can be devastating...
