RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!
RF Shielding Curtains-many uses! RF Shielding Curtains made with Conductive Metalized Textiles, block the passage or RFI/EMI. This characteristic makes them useful in many ways! One of the major uses of RF Shielding Curtains is in warehouses, where they make keeping accurate inventory records easy. Areas of the warehouse can be "sectioned off" from other areas, eliminating "RF Crosstalk" between adjacent areas during scanning. In a similar fashion, curtained separation of hospital telemetry areas enables wireless collection of vital...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence! Pre-Compliance EMC Testing requires a low ambient environment for accurate testing. The only Source of interference in the testing enclosure should be the Device Under Testing (DUT). RF Shielded enclosures are based on the Faraday Cage Principle which states that electromagnetic fields approach the outside of the enclosure, they will not pass through the walls of the enclosure. The interior of the testing enclosure should have no ambient RF radiation higher than the level that...

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Find out Early!
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Find out Early! I always like to find out what I'm in for as soon as possible! I always love "practicing" for a test that is coming my way. They help me to sharpen my skills in the areas where I am underprepared. Final EMC Compliance tests must be passed prior to marketing electronic devices. Pre-Compliance EMC Testing is a very practical way to prepare for the Final EMC Compliance test. Testing a product early and often during...

RF Interference-Controlled by Shielding!
RF Interference-Controlled by Shielding! RF Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can wreak havoc with the function of electronic devices. In our wireless world, the amount of RF radiation present in our environment is always increasing. Add the man-made RF radiation to the natural forms of RFI and EMI such as snow, rain and electrical storms, solar flares, and the auroras and there's a whole lot of radiation going on around here! Three things cause an interference problem, a "noise...

Product Development-use Pre-Compliance Testing!
Product Development-use Pre-Compliance Testing! Product development in the electronics industry is very difficult! EMC Standards must be met depending on product type and its function. When the product is complete, it needs to pass the Final EMC Compliance Testing at a registered facility in order to be marketed. This exam is all-inclusive, touching on the entire device. It's best practice to perform Pre-Compliance testing on the device during development. This stepwise practice eliminates the need for back tracking to find...

Your RF Shielded Enclosure-Custom-Made!
Your RF Shielded Enclosure-Custom-Made! Almost every electronic device under production is unique! They all have one thing in common-they must pass EMC Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing them! The EMC Compliance Testing is based on different classes of accepted standards. The standards vary for each class of device. EMC Testing takes place in RF Shielded enclosures with low ambient levels of RF present. During EMC testing, devices are evaluated for the amount of RF radiation that they can perform...

EMC Final Compliance Testing-be Prepared!
EMC Final Compliance Testing-be Prepared! The Boy Scout Motto is "Be Prepared". That phrase is my cornerstone approach to everything! Applying it first in grade school and continuing from that time forward, that phrase readies me for day-to-day life and my profession. Likewise, my V Technical Textiles, Inc. experience confirms it works for every testing experience when applied wisely. Electrical devices and components must pass EMC Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing them. EMC Compliance Testing determines whether a device...
