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...

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing at “Home” Works!

EMC Pre-Compliance Testing at "Home" Works!  Everyone knows that every new electronic device has to pass EMC Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing.  Final Compliance Testing is available at certified testing centers.  Pre-Compliance EMC testing, done at "home" during the developmental process, prepares new devices for EMC Final Compliance testing.  Proceeding in this fashion, saves travel time and money, at the same time eliminating potential "failure points".  Eliminating "failure points" in development increases the chances of passing EMC Final Compliance...
RF Shielded Enclosures-Ideal EMC Testing Environments!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Ideal EMC Testing Environments!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Ideal EMC Testing Environments!  We all know that all electronic devices have to pass Final EMC Compliance testing before they are marketed.  RF Shielded Enclosures provide ideal conditions for performing Pre-Compliance EMC testing.   Compliance testing determines whether or not the device is emitting RF and Electromagnetic radiation that will affect the performance of devices in their shared workspace, or if the device is sensitive to other electromagnetic phenomena.  RF Shielded Enclosures create a low ambient RF environment as...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-many Benefits!

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...
