Testing Situations-Prepare for them!

Testing Situations-Prepare for them!  You remember it from school, from the first day of class, you knew that there would be a "Final Test".  The "Final" would determine whether you would move on to the next level, or whether you would have to repeat the test!  Preparation for the final was very important.  A parallel situation to the "Final Test" exists when developing a new electronic product for marketing.  Commencing with development is the first step for the device toward...

Develop and Test your Product with the Best!

Develop and Test your Product with the Best!  V Technical Textiles, Inc. has been involved in electronic product development and testing for years!  Initially, VTT was known for providing excellent RF shielding materials used in electronic devices.  Shielding materials block access of RF interference to electronic devices, allowing them to perform smoothly!  Additionally, they prevent the emission of RF interference from electronic devices.  VTT's Shielding materials are conductive metalized textiles, used in the automotive, aerospace, medical, and...
Compatibility- Succeeding by Working together! Together!

EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together!

EMC-Devices Functioning Optimally Together!  Electromagnetic Compatibility means devices can function at their best in a shared environment.  All electronic devices create electromagnetic fields while they are working.  Some components of these RF emissions can potentially interfere with the optimal function of devices.  In the United States, the FCC has regulatory authority over many kinds of consumer electronics.  FCC Standards control what emissions devices can make, and a standard for how much RFI a device must tolerate while operating.  Additionally, there...
RF Shielded Enclosure

VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers!

VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers!  RF Shielded Chambers have been around for a long time!  The "standard" RF Shielded Chamber was a brick-and-mortar structure with solid metal walls, ceilings, and floors.  It was heavy, immobile, extremely expensive to construct, and required the Device Under Testing (DUT) to come to the chamber for testing.  For more than two decades, William Hoge and VTT have been designing and manufacturing a radically different style of RF Shielded Enclosures than the "old standard".  His use...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Benefits Abound!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Practical!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Practical!  No one likes to do the same job twice!  It's not efficient because it is a true waste of time.  Making sure the job's done right the first time is the best way to proceed.  This is especially true in electronic components.  Electric components are made up of multiple electronic devices, working together smoothly.  Everyone knows that every electronic device has to pass EMC compliance testing before it can go to market.  EMC is achieved when all...
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...
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...
