Have EMC Testing Questions, VTT can Answer them!
Have EMC Testing Questions, VTT can Answer them! There are many types of EMC Testing Standards, issued mainly by these groups: FCC (Federal Communications Commission), MIL Standards, EN (European Norm), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), and CISPR (Comite International Special Des Perturbations Radio). All of these groups have tests, test standards, and test methods. These tests deal with emission of and susceptibility to RF. Many products are exported to foreign countries and become subject...

Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start!
Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start! Developing a new electronic product is challenging. There are many components in most devices. These components must work together in a shared electronic environment. This environment must allow all components to function optimally TOGETHER. EMC is obtained by fine tuning the components during development. A coach develops a team, making sure plays work in training before the big game. The coaches work with each player, making sure they can execute their job...

Shielding Electronic Vehicles, RFI Challenges coming!
Shielding Electronic Vehicles, RFI Challenges coming! Electronic Vehicles (EVs) are coming, get ready for them! EVs are an answer to reduce the world's "carbon footprint" problem. Currently, the U.S. Government plans make all of its fleet EVs by 2035. The Biden Administration wants 50% of vehicles sold in 2030 to be EVs. New York has ordered all new passenger cars and light trucks be Zero Emission by 2035. Electronic vehicles will have more electronics than ever in the vehicle's "electronic...

Shielding, More Important than Ever!
Shielding, more important than ever! The number of electronic devices continues to increase. Our dependence on these devices increases as well! We actually NEED these devices for life's "basic tasks"! It is CRITICAL that these important devices work optimally. The more electronics simultaneously in use at any time, the higher the probability of EMI/RFI becomes. We want our electronic devices smaller all the time! This means more electronic components in tighter confines. You see where I'm going with this, right? We're...

Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now!
Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now! The business year is coming to a close. A New Year is just around the corner! Now is the time to plan for next year's needs! Your products, testing standards, and materials are going to change. Time waits for no one; it marches steadily forward. The general types of EMC testing will remain the same: Emissions- The amount of RFI that the Device Under Testing (DUT) is allowed to emit may decrease. ...

EMC Testing “Early and Often”, makes great Sense in Product Development!
EMC Testing "Early and Often" makes great sense in product development! In today's environment of complex electronic devices, EMC is paramount! All the components must work smoothly together to make a great product! Too much RF noise can decrease the function of a device. EVERY device emits RF/EMI noise. There are EMC standards in every industry, automotive, aerospace, and the military. A device must live up to the appropriate EMC standards in order to be used. EMC Testing "Early and Often"...

Robust Conductive Textiles, ready for Rough Conditions!
Robust Conductive Textiles, ready for rough conditions! Conductive textiles have long been used in excellent RF Shielding applications. The difficulty has always been that these conductive textiles are delicate, thin and tear easily. Seaman Corporation from Wooster, Ohio has continuously manufactured durable high performance coated textiles for decades. These coated textiles are used for roofing solutions, architectural structures, tents and tarps for the military, and Geomembranes. The marriage of Conductive Textiles and a Ruggedized Coating to protect them seemed like...
