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...

Metalized Textiles-What are their Uses?
Metalized Textiles-What are their Uses? Metalized textiles were first used in various Shielding Applications. I can remember when an automobile FM radio mainly played static! Metalized textiles played a major role in protecting the radio from RFI from the other electronic components in the vehicle. The antenna brought in shielded clean signals to the RF shielded radio which were sent out to the speakers, allowing the music to be heard as it was meant to be heard. The RF shielding...

Conductive Fabrics-Great Shielding Material!
Conductive Fabrics-Great Shielding Material! Shielding materials are usually needed in electronic devices to protect the devices from EMI/RFI which can adversely affect their performance. The more conductive the Fabric is, the better its shielding characteristics are. Obviously, fabric is typically lightweight and flexible, making it great for shielding in tight quarters. Engineers also love the lightweight, as products today are smaller and more portable than ever before. Lightweight is also important in the automotive, aerospace, military, and law enforcement markets,...
