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...

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 should be that...

EMC Testing-try Pre-Compliance Testing!
EMC Testing-try Pre-Compliance Testing! As the new year approaches, new product introduction will increase. Every new electronic device must pass a Final EMC Compliance test. You shudder to think of scheduling testing, long waits for appointments, long trips to the testing center, and big testing fees! It's great when you pass the test the first time but having to retake the test is a nightmare! This year, make a change in your "usual cycle"! Try Pre-Compliance Testing in your own...

EMC Compliance Test-Prepare your Product!
EMC Compliance Test-Prepare your Product! Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance tests in order to be marketed. Preparing your product for this should be done from the start of the product's development until it is complete. The best way to be ready for this test is to test the device early and often during product development. Running an EMC Pre Compliance test at each crucial step allows discovery and correction of issues along the way. Obviously, this stepwise process...

Testing Situations-Prepare for them!
Testing Situations-Prepare for them! You remember it from school, from the first day of class, you knew that there would be a "Final Test". The "Final" would determine whether you would move on to the next level, or whether you would have to repeat the test! Preparation for the final was very important. A parallel situation to the "Final Test" exists when developing a new electronic product for marketing. Commencing with development is the first step for the device toward...

EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together!
EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together! Electromagnetic Compatibility means devices can function at their best in a shared environment. All electronic devices create electromagnetic fields while they are working. Some components of these RF emissions can potentially interfere with the optimal function of devices. In the United States, the FCC has regulatory authority over many kinds of consumer electronics. FCC Standards control what emissions devices can make, and a standard for how much RFI a device must tolerate while operating. Additionally, there...
