EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance Testing Easy!
EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance testing easy! Manufacturers of electronic components know the importance of pre-compliance testing. Their components must function smoothly together with many other components simultaneously. The emission testing checks for RF emissions from the component. There are strict standards for the level of RF emissions that components are allowed to produce. Combine this with susceptibility testing, which is done to confirm that the component will be able function flawlessly in the presence of ambient RF levels...

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-help is hard to find, but it’s Available!
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-help is hard to find, but it's available! For years, some individuals have reported a wide range of non-specific health problems that they attribute to low-level exposure to electromagnetic fields, (EMF). The symptoms include: headaches, body pain, lethargy, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), nausea, burning sensation, heart arrhythmia, and anxiety. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that "no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". The WHO, along with the International Agency...

The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing!
The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing! The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful tool in Automotive Testing. This is especially true in the ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) area. Automotive Industry is constantly increasing its EMC standards. The tests in the Automotive Industry are the ISO 114 52-2, CISPR-25, and the EN 61000-4-21 tests. United States based vehicle manufacturers market their vehicles worldwide, so these standards are always incorporated in their basic company standards. These standards are increasing...

Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Learn About it at EMC Live!
Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Due to the rapid proliferation of electronic devices, concerns about electromagnetic interference have increased. There is concern about the impact of electromagnetic interference on human health. There is also concern about the effect of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) on the "health" of crucial electronic equipment. Critical electronic equipment that is required to function properly at all times. EMI can cause components to become "distracted", and malfunction. This type of interference...

Steve Frierson Presents at EMC LIVE Automotive on 06/08/2021-Register for Free!
V Technical Textiles, Inc.'s Technical Consultant, Steve Frierson, presents at EMC LIVE Automotive on 06/08/2021 at 12 PM Eastern time. His topic is "Automotive Testing Utilizing a Portable Vibrating Intrinsic Reverberation Chamber". Reverberation testing for EMC Compatibility has become a major test method in the Automotive, Aerospace, and Defense Sectors. The EMC tests that the Reverberation Chamber is used for are: Susceptibility Testing- This test determines whether the Device Under Testing (DUT) is susceptible to EMI that will be present in...

Cable Sleeves Eliminate “RFI Crosstalk”, keeping Data Secure!
Cable Sleeves Eliminate "crosstalk", keeping Data Secure. Cables are the way that information is transferred between computers. Crosstalk refers to electromagnetic interference from one unshielded twisted wire pair to another unshielded twisted wire pair travelling parallel with each other. Electric signals passing through wires create magnetic fields that interact with each other. A wire can be either a "transmitter" or a "receiver" of electromagnetic noise. Both forms of interference/noise affect the data quality negatively. There are two ways of stopping...

Home Shielding is Smart, Protect your Family from RF Exposure!
Home Shielding is Smart, Protect your Family from RF Exposure! RF Radiation is more prevalent than ever in today's world. There are many sources of this, some natural, many human generated. We live in a world with many electronic devices. Every device adds to the E-Smog that surrounds us. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS), is a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of a wide spectrum of non-specific symptoms. These symptoms include: headaches, body pain, lethargy, tinnitus, burning sensation, heart arrhythmia,...

Conductive Thread is used as Wiring in E-Textile Projects-Try it and See!
Conductive thread is used as wiring in e-textile projects, try it and see! There are several types of conductive threads available: Silver Coated Yarns/Threads- These are nylon sewing threads that have been plated with 99% pure silver. It can be sewn by hand or used as both top and bobbin thread in sewing machines. Please note that these conductive yarns are NOT FOR SOLDERED CONNECTIONS TO YOUR COMPONENT, as the nylon interior of the yarn/thread can not tolerate the...
