EMC Compliance Testing-what’s the Point?
EMC Compliance Testing-what's the Point? Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance Testing to make it to the market! The reason for this requirement is to lessen the amount of RFI/ EMI in our environment. More importantly, it is to lessen the RFI and EMI in our environment that adversely affects the function of other devices present in the shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit RFI/EMI. In general, electromagnetic interference doesn't cause a decrease in function of the devices...

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!
Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles! The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied. Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly. RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device. Engineers love the flexibility of...

Wellness-does Clothing play a Role?
Wellness-does Clothing play a Role? Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. I like this definition because it allows people to be "well" though they may be clinically "sick". V Technical Textiles, Inc. markets "Wellness Clothing". I do believe that clothing can play a factor in wellness. Clothing can make people feel better about themselves by providing them comfort and a positive self-image. Our "Wellness Clothing" makes people...

Pre-Compliance Testing- a Real Benefit!
Pre-Compliance Testing-a Real Benefit! Preparation is the way to go when it comes to testing in general. This is particularly true in the case of electronic products. Starting with the prototype, it is smart to build Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) into any new product. It is best practice to incorporate basic EMC into the design of the product and run Pre-Compliance EMC testing starting early in development. Waiting until your product is completely built to start testing it is a folly. ...
