EMI/RFI spell Trouble, VTT offers Solutions!
EMI/RFI spell Trouble, VTT offers Solutions! An electronic device can't be marketed until it is compliant with applicable EMC Standards. Each device has to pass EMC Final Compliance Testing before it can be marketed. Testing is rigorous, device development is crucial in preparation for it. Pre-Compliance testing, starting upon product development is the best way to prepare for the Final Compliance Testing. Pre-Compliance testing is best done "early and often" in your own facility. This development method saves time and...

New Electronic Device? It has to “Play by EMC Rules”!
New Electronic Device? It has to "Play by EMC Rules"! Electronic Devices are usually made to make our lives easier. EMC standards are necessary for devices to work together smoothly. These standards deal with RF emission, susceptibility, and immunity. RF emissions are a byproduct of an electrical device. All electrical devices produce these emissions. The key is keeping the electromagnetic environment consistent for all devices. This environment is achieved by insisting each device meets EMC Standards. New Electronic Device? It has...

Have EMC Testing Questions, VTT can Answer them!
Have EMC Testing Questions, VTT can Answer them! There are many types of EMC Testing Standards, issued mainly by these groups: FCC (Federal Communications Commission), MIL Standards, EN (European Norm), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), and CISPR (Comite International Special Des Perturbations Radio). All of these groups have tests, test standards, and test methods. These tests deal with emission of and susceptibility to RF. Many products are exported to foreign countries and become subject...

Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start!
Smart Product Development, Think EMC from the Start! Developing a new electronic product is challenging. There are many components in most devices. These components must work together in a shared electronic environment. This environment must allow all components to function optimally TOGETHER. EMC is obtained by fine tuning the components during development. A coach develops a team, making sure plays work in training before the big game. The coaches work with each player, making sure they can execute their job...

RF Shielded Pouches, stop the Hacks!
RF Shielded Pouches, stop the Hacks! RF Shielded pouches have been used to secure data for years. Police, Diplomatic, and Military agencies use them routinely to securely transport electronic devices. The pouches prevent RF access to the devices by creating a "Faraday Cage" around the device. A Faraday Cage is a metal cage that will block an electromagnetic field from entering the boundaries of the cage. These pouches will block entry of WiFi, 5G, and electromagnetic pulses. Wireless devices utilize electromagnetic...

Why work with VTT? Experience, Research, Dedication, and Commitment!
Why work with VTT? Experience, Research, Dedication, and Commitment! These are four great reasons to work with V Technical Textiles, Inc. Experience is paramount, VTT has been selling conductive textiles for more than 20 years. The "selling" isn't the important issue, it is the control over the raw materials. Due to our relationship with the manufacturers of these textiles, VTT has several advantages: Control over the raw materials- VTT has a large inventory readily on hand for...

Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now!
Testing for EMC, Plan for Future needs Now! The business year is coming to a close. A New Year is just around the corner! Now is the time to plan for next year's needs! Your products, testing standards, and materials are going to change. Time waits for no one; it marches steadily forward. The general types of EMC testing will remain the same: Emissions- The amount of RFI that the Device Under Testing (DUT) is allowed to emit may decrease. ...

Robust Conductive Textiles, ready for Rough Conditions!
Robust Conductive Textiles, ready for rough conditions! Conductive textiles have long been used in excellent RF Shielding applications. The difficulty has always been that these conductive textiles are delicate, thin and tear easily. Seaman Corporation from Wooster, Ohio has continuously manufactured durable high performance coated textiles for decades. These coated textiles are used for roofing solutions, architectural structures, tents and tarps for the military, and Geomembranes. The marriage of Conductive Textiles and a Ruggedized Coating to protect them seemed like...
