Your RF Shielded Enclosure-Custom-Made!
Your RF Shielded Enclosure-Custom-Made! Almost every electronic device under production is unique! They all have one thing in common-they must pass EMC Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing them! The EMC Compliance Testing is based on different classes of accepted standards. The standards vary for each class of device. EMC Testing takes place in RF Shielded enclosures with low ambient levels of RF present. During EMC testing, devices are evaluated for the amount of RF radiation that they can perform...

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...
