EMC Concerns-Try Pre-Compliance Testing!
EMC Concerns-Try Pre-Compliance Testing! I am a worrier, I worry about any type of test that I am facing. It can be my physical, a licensing examination, you name it, I'll worry about it! My mother always felt that proper preparation was far better than worrying about the test. I agree with her approach in preparing for tests. She maintains that constant preparation leading up to the test is the best way to approach a test. I know from my...

Wellness-does Clothing play a Role?
Wellness-does Clothing play a Role? Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. I like this definition because it allows people to be "well" though they may be clinically "sick". V Technical Textiles, Inc. markets "Wellness Clothing". I do believe that clothing can play a factor in wellness. Clothing can make people feel better about themselves by providing them comfort and a positive self-image. Our "Wellness Clothing" makes people...

Pre-Compliance Testing- a Real Benefit!
Pre-Compliance Testing-a Real Benefit! Preparation is the way to go when it comes to testing in general. This is particularly true in the case of electronic products. Starting with the prototype, it is smart to build Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) into any new product. It is best practice to incorporate basic EMC into the design of the product and run Pre-Compliance EMC testing starting early in development. Waiting until your product is completely built to start testing it is a folly. ...

Best Practice-EMC Testing During Development!
Best Practice-EMC Testing During Development. It's true, the best way to develop an EMC compliant product is to build compliance into it from day one! The EMC standards are specific and defined by regional, international, national, agencies. They are defined by the type of product and the location(s) where the product will be used. For each industry, there are different standards that apply to the amount of EMI/RFI a device can emit. ALL electrical devices produce electromagnetic fields that interfere...

RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!
RF Shielding Curtains-many uses! RF Shielding Curtains made with Conductive Metalized Textiles, block the passage or RFI/EMI. This characteristic makes them useful in many ways! One of the major uses of RF Shielding Curtains is in warehouses, where they make keeping accurate inventory records easy. Areas of the warehouse can be "sectioned off" from other areas, eliminating "RF Crosstalk" between adjacent areas during scanning. In a similar fashion, curtained separation of hospital telemetry areas enables wireless collection of vital...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence! Pre-Compliance EMC Testing requires a low ambient environment for accurate testing. The only Source of interference in the testing enclosure should be the Device Under Testing (DUT). RF Shielded enclosures are based on the Faraday Cage Principle which states that electromagnetic fields approach the outside of the enclosure, they will not pass through the walls of the enclosure. The interior of the testing enclosure should have no ambient RF radiation higher than the level that...
