What’s in Your Wallet? Hopefully, Some Shielding Material!
In today's world, having credit cards or electronic ID cards in your wallet isn't secure enough protection for the personal information they carry. You must have some sort of additional security for them there in your pocket. When I grew up, the best security for wallets was what over the road truckers or motorcyclists had, a chain that connected their wallet to their belt or the pants that they were wearing, stopping physical thievery and that was good enough. Today's thief doesn't...

Minimizing UV and RF Radiation Exposure, A Great Idea for Either End of the EMR Spectrum
UV Radiation When I was a child fifty-five years ago, my mother often encouraged us to go outside and "get a nice healthy suntan".

In many cases, this information can be used as key evidence in trials. When these devices are seized with a warrant, they become part of the "Chain of Custody/Evidence". In legal context, this refers to the documentation or paper trail that...

As the Products Get Smaller, the Challenges of Shielding Get Bigger; New Dynamics in the RF EMI Shielding Industry
Most of the electronic devices of today are getting smaller and smaller due to the increasing tendency of the consumer to want everything to be light and portable, witness the change in size of the cellular telephone since its inception in 1973. The size of the first cell phone ever used was 9"x 5"x 1.8" with a weight of a little more than 2.4 pounds. Today's cell phones are 5" x 2"x o.5" and carry a fraction of the weight. ...

RF EMI Shielding-Helping Our Systems Work Well Together
You know how it is in the workplace. If one works in a "cubicle farm" with large open spaces and no privacy, all of the ambient noise created by co-workers makes it very hard for one to concentrate on the project at hand. The noise and interference present in the environment make doing one's best work much harder. It's nicer and more efficient to have a private office, protected from outside distraction by four walls, a ceiling, and a door. ...

Considering Having an EMI/RF Testing Enclosure Built?

Could you use this valuable space for other uses when not using it for testing? How portable is the enclosure? When you've considered all of the above questions, it...
