Proper RFI Management is Crucial, Wireless, the Internet of Things, and 5G depend on It!
Proper RFI Management is Crucial, Wireless, the Internet of Things (IOT) and 5G depend on it! Proper RFI Management is Crucial, Wireless, the IoT, and 5G depend on it. All three of the above-mentioned systems operate in an RFI filled environment. Due to the increase of the number of devices, there is more RFI in our environment than ever before. Every electronic device emits RFI, the trick is to control it. Think of the environment as an office full workers. As...

RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, We have the right one for You!
RF Shielded Testing Enclosures-what are they? RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures are based on the theory of the "Faraday Cage", pioneered by Michael Faraday in 1836. A Faraday Cage is made of a conductive metal mesh or solid conductive metal plates that will not allow external electric fields to enter the area that the cage encloses. Our RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures are made of metalized conductive textiles, making them easy to assemble, lightweight and portable. RF Shielded Testing Enclosures-what are they...

RF Emissions and RF Susceptibility, EMC Test Devices Early and Often in Development!
RF Emissions and RF Susceptibility, EMC test devices early and often in development! RF Emissions- every electronic device emits RF waves during function. Some of these RF waves are acceptable in the environment. Some of them can adversely affect the function of other nearby devices. The RF Emissions should be checked early and often during development. This process prevents the need to change the device design completely late in the game. RF Susceptibility- If RF waves in the area decrease...

EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance Testing Easy!
EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance testing easy! Manufacturers of electronic components know the importance of pre-compliance testing. Their components must function smoothly together with many other components simultaneously. The emission testing checks for RF emissions from the component. There are strict standards for the level of RF emissions that components are allowed to produce. Combine this with susceptibility testing, which is done to confirm that the component will be able function flawlessly in the presence of ambient RF levels that...

Reverberation Chambers Two Styles, One Great EMC Testing Method!
Reverberation Chambers, Two Styles, one Great EMC Testing Method! EMC Testing is typically done in metal lined testing chambers. The metal blocks any exterior RF noise from entering the testing chamber, interfering with the EMC testing that you are performing. It's just the Device Under Testing (DUT) and the applied frequencies that are used in the test. The problem is, the metal that keeps the "ambient noise out" allows reflection of the testing frequencies off the inside walls of the...

The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing!
The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing! The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful tool in Automotive Testing. This is especially true in the ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) area. Automotive Industry is constantly increasing its EMC standards. The tests in the Automotive Industry are the ISO 114 52-2, CISPR-25, and the EN 61000-4-21 tests. United States based vehicle manufacturers market their vehicles worldwide, so these standards are always incorporated in their basic company standards. These standards are increasing in...

Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Learn About it at EMC Live!
Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Due to the rapid proliferation of electronic devices, concerns about electromagnetic interference have increased. There is concern about the impact of electromagnetic interference on human health. There is also concern about the effect of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) on the "health" of crucial electronic equipment. Critical electronic equipment that is required to function properly at all times. EMI can cause components to become "distracted", and malfunction. This type of interference can...

Steve Frierson Presents at EMC LIVE Automotive on 06/08/2021-Register for Free!
V Technical Textiles, Inc.'s Technical Consultant, Steve Frierson, presents at EMC LIVE Automotive on 06/08/2021 at 12 PM Eastern time. His topic is "Automotive Testing Utilizing a Portable Vibrating Intrinsic Reverberation Chamber". Reverberation testing for EMC Compatibility has become a major test method in the Automotive, Aerospace, and Defense Sectors. The EMC tests that the Reverberation Chamber is used for are: Susceptibility Testing- This test determines whether the Device Under Testing (DUT) is susceptible to EMI that will be present in its...
