RF Shielded Enclosures-Ideal EMC Testing Environments!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Ideal EMC Testing Environments! We all know that all electronic devices have to pass Final EMC Compliance testing before they are marketed. RF Shielded Enclosures provide ideal conditions for performing Pre-Compliance EMC testing. Compliance testing determines whether or not the device is emitting RF and Electromagnetic radiation that will affect the performance of devices in their shared workspace, or if the device is sensitive to other electromagnetic phenomena. RF Shielded Enclosures create...

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! 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...

EMC Compliance Test-Prepare your Product!
EMC Compliance Test-Prepare your Product! Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance tests in order to be marketed. Preparing your product for this should be done from the start of the product's development until it is complete. The best way to be ready for this test is to test the device early and often during product development. Running an EMC Pre Compliance test at each crucial step allows discovery and correction of issues along the way. Obviously, this stepwise process...

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. ...
