Advancing Aerospace Shielding using Conductive Textiles! The aerospace industry requires reliable Shielding Solutions to protect electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD).  Conductive metalized textiles have emerged as a very promising option for Aerospace shielding.   Conductive textiles have revolutionized aerospace shielding by providing effective EMI shielding and ESD protection.  These textiles are specifically designed to prevent the penetration of electromagnetic waves, safeguarding critical onboard electronics and communications systems.  By effectively blocking unwanted electromagnetic radiation, these textiles ensure interference-free performance crucial...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing!

“Develop” EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing!

"Develop" EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing!  If you're developing new electronic product, you know that it must pass Final EMC Compliance Testing enabling it to go to market.  Many companies develop the product testing it for EMC compliance after development.  This method means that multiple areas may fail the costly Final EMC Compliance test, requiring "backtracking" through developmental steps to determine the reason(s) for failure and re-test the product repeatedly until it passes.  This can be a frustrating proposition, requiring multiple...
