VTT Helps during “Testing Times”!
VTT Helps during "Testing Times"! We all go through "Testing Times" in our lives. In the electronic business, we think of product development as a very important "testing time". New electronic devices must undergo and pass Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing. VTT believes that the most important testing is Pre-Compliance EMC Testing. Performing EMC testing early and often during development allows you the luxury of building EMC into your device during a step-by-step development process. Correcting EMC issues during...

RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics!
RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics! We all know that all electronic devices must pass EMC compliance testing prior to marketing. Without RF Shielding, EMC would be impossible to achieve! Shielding protects electronic devices from RFI and EMI emissions that would make optimal performance impossible. Shielding is valuable in several ways, firstly, by blocking emissions that will adversely affect the operation of nearby devices, increasing the overall operation of the component. Secondly, shielding materials block emissions from other nearby devices that will...

RF Shielded Curtains-many Options!
RF Shielded Curtains-many Options! RF Shielded Curtains are known for their work in warehousing and inventory management. They separate a large room into multiple distinct areas, allowing fast and accurate inventories. This certainly isn't the only use for Shielded curtains. They allow adding a foyer, division, or a room to an RF Shielded Enclosure, creating mor workspace. Shielded Curtains are important in telemetry areas of hospitals, keeping the patient's vital signs and medical conditions separate and securely...

RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures-Size Matters!
RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures-Size Matters! Electronic devices come in all sizes. All of the devices require EMC Compliance Testing in order to be marketed. This testing determines whether the device can work effectively in a shared electromagnetic environment. All devices emit RFI radiation and electromagnetic fields. These emissions can adversely affect the function of the other devices. The problem boils down to two terms, emissions or susceptibility. The RF emissions of an electronic device must meet certain applicable standards. ...

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!
RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility! Everyone knows some people who are very talented at what they do, but they can't work together! The mere presence of the two of them in the same room ruins the work environment. The same thing is true of electronic components, electronic devices do jobs well. When the components have to work in a shared electromagnetic environment, they have to be compatible. With people, it's their personalities that can make them incompatible, unable to work...

EMC Compliance Testing-what’s the Point?
EMC Compliance Testing-what's the Point? Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance Testing to make it to the market! The reason for this requirement is to lessen the amount of RFI/ EMI in our environment. More importantly, it is to lessen the RFI and EMI in our environment that adversely affects the function of other devices present in the shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit RFI/EMI. In general, electromagnetic interference doesn't cause a decrease in function of the devices...

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!
Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles! The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied. Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly. RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device. Engineers love the flexibility of...

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation! There are many important tests in life! Smart preparation makes tests easier to pass! If you are developing new electronic products for the market, you know that passing a Final EMC Compliance Test is necessary to market your product. Final Compliance Certification means that your product will fit in smoothly with the shared electromagnetic environment that it will function in. The best way to prepare your device for the Final EMC Compliance test is to perform...
