Shielding

Modern Applications of Conductive Metalized Textiles!

EMC-Achieve it with Proper Shielding!

EMC-Achieve it with Proper Shielding!  Electromagnetic Compatibility means that the electronic devices in a shared Electromagnetic Environment are able to perform together, without interfering with each other.  The two main concerns are Emissions and Susceptibility.  Emissions of RF radiation occur when any electronic device is operating.  If the emissions are within the limits of applicable EMC standards, the device is compliant with the standard for emissions.  If the RF emissions of the device are above the standard, the device is...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Perfect Testing Environments!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Perfect Testing Environments!  You've heard me say that EMC is all about the environment.  EMC means   all of the electronic devices in a shared electromagnetic environment are able work together smoothly.  RF Shielded Enclosures are used in testing electronic devices to assure that the devices can work in a standard environment together while not making that environment toxic for other devices.  EMC Testing requires a controlled low ambient electromagnetic environment.  The only electromagnetic radiation present should be that...

Experience, Research, Dedication, and Commitment!

Experience, Research, Dedication, and Commitment!  These are the words that I place at the very end of every blog that I produce for V Technical Textiles, Inc.  Those words accurately describe the approach we take in our day-to-day work.   We design and manufacture many products for our valued customers.  This doesn't mean that VTT's products are made the same way every time.  Every time a product is put on the schedule, a full review of the entire manufacturing process from...
Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!

Privacy and Protection-RFI/EMI Home Shielding!

Privacy and Protection-RFI/EMI Home Shielding!  RF Shielding offers protection from RF/EMI exposure.  We live in a wireless environment, using RF to send and receive messages, communicate via cell phone, and make financial transactions.  Though the long-term health effects of exposure to RF/EMI radiation haven't been exactly defined, there is true concern that they exist.  Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity (EHS) is a self-reported condition that hasn't been proven by science.  It consists of nervous system symptoms such as headache, fatigue, sleep disturbances, skin symptoms...
RF Shielded Curtains create Security and Isolation

RF Shielded Curtains create Security and Isolation!

RF Shielded Curtains create Security and Isolation!  Today's electronic world relies heavily on wireless transmission of  information.  Wireless access to information makes transactions and transmission easy.  Unfortunately, wireless access sometimes allows access to private or important information when it shouldn't be!  Examples of data security include credit card information, passwords stored on wireless devices, even vital signs in a telemetry unit in a hospital to make sure that this private information is secure and directed to the proper location.  Practical...
Metalized Conductive Textiles Applications-Variety!

EMC-It’s all about the Environment!

EMC-It's all about the Environment!  It's terrific when people work smoothly together.  They focus on the job at hand and accomplish their tasks efficiently.  You feel their compatibility in the easy flow of their work!  It's the same way with electric components working together in a shared environment.  Electronic devices emit electromagnetic interference naturally while working.  These natural emissions can negatively affect the overall functioning of the device.  EMC Final Compliance Testing is required for all electronic devices before marketing...
The Remarkable Evolution of EMC!

Electronic Devices plus Great Shielding-EMC!

Electronic Devices plus Great Shielding-EMC!  Electronic devices are great things, making so many tasks easier and more enjoyable for us!  Sadly, they also create EMI and RFI emissions naturally.  Unfortunately, some of these emissions affect other devices working in their shared electromagnetic environment adversely.  Consider the analogy of an office, one employee talks loudly and makes it hard for the other employees to concentrate at their highest level.  The talking employee is an "emitter" of EMI/RFI and the other employees...
Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!  In today's wireless world, we endure constant exposure to RF waves.  Though there is no absolute proof of health risks due to RF wave exposure, there is certainly concern regarding exposure.  EHS (Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity), the name given to EMI sensitivity, involves nervous system symptoms.   Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances, and skin irritation among many others.   Many sufferers of EHS claim that their symptoms decline when they shield themselves from RF/EMI exposure.  Personal Shielding...
RF Shielded Bags-Protection and Security!

Digital Device Security-RF Shielded Pouches!

Digital Device Security-RF Shielded Pouches!  Our digital devices are wonderful, they allow us easy access to our private information all the time!  We don't leave home without them, and always have them nearby.  Unfortunately, this private information is also accessible by nefarious others.  In today's world, there are people who make a living by illegally wirelessly accessing personal digital devices.  They access the information using unsecure Wi-Fi connections such as internet cafes or guest connections in restaurants and hotels.  It...
Non-Woven Conductive Fabrics-Diverse Applications

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...
