RF Shielded Curtain or Enclosure?
This may seem like a difficult question, in some cases the correct answer is BOTH! One of the beautiful things about an RF Shielded Curtain is that it can multitask! An RF Shielded curtain can isolate an area from RF radiation. This comes in handy in repairing or testing an electronic device's performance "in situ" when the "Device Under Testing" (DUT) won't fit into a RF Shielded Enclosure or can't get to one. An RF Shielded Curtain is...

Who uses Conductive Metalized Textiles-Everyone!
Who uses Conductive Metalized Textiles-Everyone! Until I came to work at V Technical Textiles, Inc., I didn't know anything about them. Today, I am amazed at the number of ways metalized textiles are involved in our lives. One of the first uses of them made it possible for me to listen to an FM radio in my car! I recall FM radios seemed particularly sensitive to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and were not easy to listen to. This due to...

EMC-Achieve it with Proper Shielding!
EMC-Achieve it with Proper Shielding! Electromagnetic Compatibility means that the electronic devices in a shared Electromagnetic Environment are able to perform together, without interfering with each other. The two main concerns are Emissions and Susceptibility. Emissions of RF radiation occur when any electronic device is operating. If the emissions are within the limits of applicable EMC standards, the device is compliant with the standard for emissions. If the RF emissions of the device are above the standard, the device is...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Perfect Testing Environments!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Perfect Testing Environments! You've heard me say that EMC is all about the environment. EMC means all of the electronic devices in a shared electromagnetic environment are able work together smoothly. RF Shielded Enclosures are used in testing electronic devices to assure that the devices can work in a standard environment together while not making that environment toxic for other devices. EMC Testing requires a controlled low ambient electromagnetic environment. The only electromagnetic radiation present...

Digital Evidence must be Secure and Preserved in order to be Admissible!
Digital Evidence must be Secure! The wireless digital world has created a whole new landscape for criminals. Inadvertently, criminals accidentally keep detailed records of their criminal activity in their electronic devices. GPS keeps an accurate track of where the device or phone has been. Oddly, Criminals feel that if their data is safe in these devices and that no one can get at it. We are all aware that people can wirelessly access to sensitive information. That's how hackers make...

Resistance Heating-great in Winter!
Resistance Heating-great in Winter! Winter is here! This is the time of the year when Resistance heating is useful in many situations. In the automotive field, resistance heating comes into play in three areas. Heated seats, steering wheels, make us very comfortable, keeping our extremities, backs and posteriors warm. Rear windows and heated mirrors are often cleared of frost and cloudiness with conductive heat, increasing our vision. Resistance heating involves using the resistance of metal to quickly convert electrical energy...
