Broadband absorber materials play a crucial role in minimizing interference and reflections in and between electronic systems. A leading manufacturer in this field is ABS Technics, which supplies a wide range of advanced absorber materials that meet the most stringent requirements of modern applications.
The ABS-SLF series is a lightweight material constructed from carbon-filled foam and is designed to absorb a wide frequency range of electromagnetic waves.
The standard 6210x610mm flat plate has a multi-layer structure consisting of individually matched absorber layers, each with their specific dielectric gradient, to obtain the best possible match with the impedance of air.
The absorbent plates are impregnated with a binder and provided with fire-retardant additives.
This ABS-SLF series is available in 6 different thicknesses, ranging from 6 to 114mm, where each type is related to its operating frequency, from >0.8 to >20GHz. The typical reflection level at microwave frequencies is better than -17dB related to a metallic background.
ABS-SLF is a typical broadband absorber that finds its application in free space and cavity applications in indoor or semi outdoor applications. For specific applications where the absorber is used in a harsh environment, the absorbent material can be provided with protection such as vinyl, PVC tissue or a coating.
Typical broadband applications include reducing reflectivity from metallic structures and masts, reducing crosstalk between antenna systems, modifying radar cross section (RCS), or improving stealth applications.
ABS Technics has built an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of top quality broadband absorber material. Their absorbers are designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern electronic applications and offer unique benefits.
