EMC Standards are Necessary

Standards are necessary for EMC!

Standards are necessary for EMC!  Electronic devices working in a shared electronic environment must be able to perform optimally in that environment.  In order for this to happen, the shared environment must meet certain "standards".  Imagine expecting a human being able to live in an environment without oxygen.  It's NOT going to happen!  Similarly, electronic devices require an environment with limited range of RFI frequency emissions.  RFI above a certain "standard level" will hinder a device's performance.  A "standard limit"...

Shielding RF/EMI

Shielding RF/EMI allows Electronic Teamwork!

Shielding RF/EMI allows Electronic Teamwork!  Electronic components consist of several electronic devices working together toward a common result.  All electronic devices create electromagnetic fields.  Electromagnetic fields can be the source of "noise" that can affect the function of another nearby device or devices in the component.  Noise produces a "toxic effect" on the shared electronic environment of the component, making it function below its capability.  In order for the devices to be "compatible" with each other, there must be standards...
2022 EMC + SIPI

Chris Cook is ready for IEEE EMC Symposium + SIPI in Spokane!

Chris Cook is ready for IEEE EMC Symposium + SIPI in Spokane!  Chris will meet with our Northwest sales representative, Dean Shipman, while he's in the neighborhood. Monday evening, before the Symposium begins, Chris will attend a customer appreciation meeting sponsored by our partner, ETS Lindgren.  Tuesday, Chris will meet with our Northwest Sales Representative, Dean Shipman of Syntek.  Chris will spend the rest of the day walking the Symposium.  The IEEE EMC Symposium +SIPI is the major annual meeting...

Shielding Challenges in Electronic Vehicles!

Shielding Challenges in Electric Vehicles!  Low-frequency magnetic fields are an issue in electronic vehicles.  Low-Frequency fields are related to human health and safety.  Specifically, low-frequency magnetic field exposure of the nervous system where the frequency is below 500KHz.  Additionally, some electric control units of an electronic vehicle can be adversely affected by this phenomenon.  Obviously, anything that effects the controls of an EV can decrease the safety of the vehicle.  The low-frequency magnetic fields in an electronic vehicle are...
Conductive Textiles in Autonomous Vehicle Testing!

Autonomous Vehicle Testing-VTT’s Role!

Autonomous Vehicle Testing-VTT's Role!  VTT's prominent role in automotive EMC testing is well known.  Autonomous Vehicles are loaded with complex electronic devices!   All of the electronic systems must work together in a small shared electronic environment.  EMC testing is what VTT has been known for over the years!  VTT's RF Shielded EMC Testing enclosures have provided the perfect environment for EMC Automotive testing for many years! Autonomous Vehicle Testing-VTT's Role!  Autonomous vehicles require reliable and robust computer systems and sensors.  Elaborate...
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-be Fair!

EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony!

EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony!  All electronic devices produce electromagnetic emissions.  Electromagnetic emissions of every electronic device have to meet applicable standards.  Emissions outside of the standards interfere with function of other devices in the component.  Devices must be in compliance with EMC standards in order to be marketed.  EMC Compliance testing insures a harmonious shared electronic environment for optimal device performance. EMC-Devices functioning in Harmony!  EMC Compliance testing consists of three tests: Emissions- The Device Under Testing (DUT) is tested to...
Autonomous/Driver-Assisted Vehicles

Autonomous/Driver-Assisted Vehicles-Testing Galore!

Autonomous/Driver-Assisted Vehicles-Testing Galore!  Many of us feel that machines can't replace people.  This is especially true of the automotive driver seat!  People do not want to put their lives in the hands of a machine.  We've all dislike back seat drivers, but the thought of no driver is even scarier!  The reality of Partially Autonomous/Driver-Assisted vehicles is here.  Many cars already have AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) systems.  My car has LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) and it's two years old!  I...
Pre-Compliance Testing Streamlines Product Launches!

EMC Pre-Compliance Testing-Home or Away?

EMC Pre-Compliance Testing-Home or Away?  EMC Testing is necessary during product development.  Pre-Compliance EMC Testing during development is more important.  Pre-Compliance EMC Testing prepares your device for Final EMC Compliance Testing!  Equipment for in house Pre-Compliance EMC testing can be purchased or rented.  Once the employees are trained in EMC testing, a "home game" is much easier all around than an "away game".  In-house testing also involves the development team, increasing their investment in product development.  Obviously, EMC Testing at...
Grounding Techniques

Grounding Techniques-Essential in People and Electronics!

Grounding Techniques-Essential in People and Electronics!  Grounding in electronics is the process of directing excess electricity to the ground via a wire.  Likewise, grounding in people is directing Earth's energy to people.  We all know people are truly "electronic devices" in a fashion.  We've all heard the term "grounded person" before.  Interestingly, that statement can be taken in several ways.  Many people practice Grounding/Earthing by being in direct contact with the earth.  In Health and Wellness areas,...
