VTT Helps during “Testing Times”!
VTT Helps during "Testing Times"! We all go through "Testing Times" in our lives. In the electronic business, we think of product development as a very important "testing time". New electronic devices must undergo and pass Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing. VTT believes that the most important testing is Pre-Compliance EMC Testing. Performing EMC testing early and often during development allows you the luxury of building EMC into your device during a step-by-step development process. Correcting EMC issues during...

Nothing is “simple” anymore-needs Change!
Nothing is "simple" anymore-needs Change! When I first came to VTT, our manufacturing product line was fairly simple. RF Shielded Enclosures, RF Shielding Curtains, RF Shielding Garments were about it! Today, we find that our customers are always finding new and different needs for our conductive textile products. An RF Shielded enclosure has become a "suite" of rooms with more isolation than ever. Requests for Foyers, removable walls, are routine requests rather than unusual. RF Shielding Curtains are now "arrays...

RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures-Size Matters!
RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures-Size Matters! Electronic devices come in all sizes. All of the devices require EMC Compliance Testing in order to be marketed. This testing determines whether the device can work effectively in a shared electromagnetic environment. All devices emit RFI radiation and electromagnetic fields. These emissions can adversely affect the function of the other devices. The problem boils down to two terms, emissions or susceptibility. The RF emissions of an electronic device must meet certain applicable standards. ...

Conductive Textiles help make Travelling Safe!
Conductive Textiles help make Travelling Safe! Planes, trains, and automobiles depend on conductive textiles in many ways. They keep the driver or pilot aware of the engagement of safety restraints by the passengers before beginning the trip. If you drive automobiles, you are well aware that there are sensors present in the steering wheel that determine if the driver is in proper position and paying attention to his surroundings. If the car wanders in its lane, sensors notice this and...

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!
RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility! Everyone knows some people who are very talented at what they do, but they can't work together! The mere presence of the two of them in the same room ruins the work environment. The same thing is true of electronic components, electronic devices do jobs well. When the components have to work in a shared electromagnetic environment, they have to be compatible. With people, it's their personalities that can make them incompatible, unable to work...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Testing at Home!
RF Shielded Enclosures-testing at Home! Preparing for Final Compliance EMC Testing is difficult. One of the best ways to prepare for this test is to prepare your product during development. Testing your product in your home environment during development builds EMC into your device from the start and is the best way to proceed. Pre-Compliance EMC Testing can be done easily at your development site. It actually saves time in development, by intercepting EMC issues along the way rather than...

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...
