Compliance Test Tension? An RF Shielded Enclosure by V Technical Textiles, Inc. can Ease the Stress!
We all know that final EMI Compliance Testing can be a tense time. Time has been invested in development, design, prototyping, and now it is time to find out if your device is compliant with applicable ElectroMagnetic Compliance (EMC) standards. You drive the three hour trip to the testing site on your appointed day. Of course, the line has formed and "they're running a little behind today", so you wait for your turn. You hand your device over to the...

“Hardening Structures”-Protecting our Country’s Vital Electronics-Based Systems!
ElectroMagnetic Pulses (EMPs), transient electromagnetic disturbances, evoke the Orwellian thoughts of nuclear explosions that are capable of short-circuiting a wide range of electronic equipment, including computers, satellites, radios, radar receivers, and even traffic lights, plunging the world into the "electronic dark ages". Though a nuclear weapon is the most commonly thought of cause of an EMP, they can also be caused by solar flares, a close lightning strike, or a massive powerline short circuit. The damage to electrical equipment can...

Portable RF Shielded Enclosures Provided Work from Home Applications During Covid-19
When Covid-19 hit North America in March, it closed down a lot of our businesses, but many businesses and individuals were able to continue to do work from home or other remote locations during the quarantine/social distancing period of this pandemic. The "Work From Home" #wfh group, were often able to continue their work with the use of RF Shielded Enclosures and pouches. One didn't need to be in the electronics development business to benefit from these enclosures. Government and Business...

The Constant Increase of Electronic Devices makes the Shielding Industry Very Important in Achieving EMC!
We have more electronic devices than ever before in this world, each of them adding to the invisible cloud of E-Smog that surrounds us all. More of these devices are being developed all of the time, with the development in cellular infrastructure for the 5G and 6G communications systems....yes, I said 6G!!! That doesn't include the aerospace and automotive industries as today's aircrafts and automobiles are essentially controlled and driven with the aid of complex electronic devices and the consumer...

RF Protective Suit, Protection for 5G Workers, Microwave Workers and Maintenance Personnel!
Most of us know that we are surrounded by RF radiation all of the time. This radiation is of the non-ionizing variety, meaning that it lacks the energy to damage the DNA of a cell and cause mutations. RF is routinely absorbed by the body and the effects of this absorption are called "thermal effects", basically much as a microwave oven can heat water, RF radiation can rapidly warm the body. The eyes and the testes are most vulnerable to...

CubeSats, the Smallest Members of the Satellite Family
NASA has announced a Cube Satellite Launch Initiative (CSLI) recently, making it possible for a private company to propose a Cube Satellite (CubeSat) mission that will be deployed in space by a NASA booster that has space available on it for more cargo than it is scheduled to take into space. In very simple terms, a CSLI means that NASA will "cover the cost" of putting your CubeSat mission into orbit in exchange for a report on the results of...
