RF/EMI Shielding-the Key to EMC!

RF/EMI Shielding-the Key to EMC!  Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards must be met prior to marketing devices.  The device must perform well in a shared electromagnetic environment.  It must not disrupt the performance of other nearby devices.  It must not be disrupted by its environmental coworkers.  The "potential disruption" is caused by RF/EMI outside of acceptable standards.  In the US, the FCC determines these standards.  In Canada, Industry Canada determines the standards.  Europe requires the "CE" mark that represents...
The Role of Conductive Textiles in Modern PPE!

What is Conductive Mesh-how is it used?

What is Conductive Mesh-how is it used?  Conductive Mesh is a knitted metal plated fabric with pores.  The fabric is Nylon 6, Nylon 6.6 or polyester.  The pore size varies, pores can be big or small.  If they are small, the mesh can be used for filtered ventilation.  Conductive mesh vents are often used in the ventilation systems of our RF Shielded Testing Enclosures.  Conductive meshes are useful in face masks to filter the air of particulate...
RFI Interference

Shielding lowers Interference-Devices work Better!

Shielding lowers Interference-Devices work Better.  We all know what interference is like in an office situation.  While concentrating on an important job, someone disrupts your concentration.  The interference comes from a coworker who is working with you.  Frustration sets in, you can't get back "into the zone".   You know you aren't performing your best work.  The same thing can happen to devices in a shared electrical environment.  All devices are trying to work but can't function well.   In the workplace...
EMI/RFI Spell Trouble

EMI/RFI spell Trouble, VTT offers Solutions!

EMI/RFI spell Trouble, VTT offers Solutions!   An electronic device can't be marketed until it is compliant with applicable EMC Standards.  Each device has to pass EMC Final Compliance Testing before it can be marketed.  Testing is rigorous, device development is crucial in preparation for it.  Pre-Compliance testing, starting upon product development is the best way to prepare for the Final Compliance Testing.  Pre-Compliance testing is best done "early and often" in your own facility.  This development method saves time and...
