RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, Rental is an Option!
RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, why buy one you can rent it? Shielded Testing Enclosures are an ideal solution for Pre-Compliance Testing. Accomplishing this testing at your site has several advantages. There is the monetary advantage, saving travel and testing fees are two areas of saving money. Saving precious time instead of waiting for appointments at busy testing centers when you can perform them in your own location on your own schedule represents another important savings area. Many industries are required to...

Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent Testing Options!
Portable RF Shielded Enclosures are Excellent EMC Testing Options! These Enclosures are used in Pre-Compliance testing of new electronic equipment in the developmental stage. They provide the perfect ambient-free environment necessary for this type of testing due to the "Faraday Cage Effect". The metalized conductive textiles used in making these enclosures block unwanted electromagnetic fields and waves inside of the enclosure. The Device Under Testing (DUT) can then be operated in a "clean RF environment" to determine if normal operation...

RF Testing in Space? How will that be Done?
RF Testing in Space? That seems like a strange question. Certainly, RF Testing in space is not being done to any great extent at this time. RF testing is done on earth for the spacecrafts and their components to make sure that their delicate electrical systems work smoothly together in space. RF testing in space seems like it could be a necessary thing to consider within the next decade. NASA's Artemis Program will return humans to the Moon in 2024. The...

What is a Solar Flare? How can it Effect our Electronic Lives?
What is a Solar Flare? A Solar Flare is the release of pent-up energy, also called a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Think of them as the results of storms on the surface of the sun, or "spouts of magnetic energy". In early December, we had a Solar Flare. This Solar Flare coincides with the onset of "Solar Cycle 25". A Solar Cycle is an 11 year window of time during which the storminess on the surface of the sun peaks and...

What are Faraday Cages and How are they Used?
Faraday Cages are enclosures first researched by Benjamin Franklin in 1755, but mostly attributed to the work done by Michael Faraday in 1836. Essentially, a Faraday Shield is an enclosure made of a continuous covering of walls, ceilings, and floors by a conductive metal that is used to completely block Electromagnetic Fields from entering the inside of the enclosure by spreading the current over the outside of the enclosure. In contrast, a Faraday Cage, which involves the use of a...

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...

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...
