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 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 made out of...

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...

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...
