Broadband Hybrid Pyramidal Absorbers

Broadband hybrid pyramidal absorbers

 PU foam based pyramid absorbers 3640

These PU foam based pyramid absorbers are the most popular solution for 3, 5 and 10 m EMC chambers in the market.

 

Solution for 3, 5 and 10 m EMC chambers in the market

These absorbers are the most popular solution for 3, 5 and 10 m EMC chambers in the market. They are composed of pyramidal, full tip SAM or truncated SMT pulsing the matching layer to separate the pyramidal part from the ferrite part. Through optimization, this product has a superb performance across 30 MHz to 18 GHz. The ferrite performs from 30 MHz to 1 GHz and the foam performs above 1 GHz.

Prototypes are made and the design is tested. Results become part of a valuable feedback loop for refining our design further.

Broadband Pyramidal Absorber is a low density polyurethane foam, filled with high loss dielectric material in open cell structure and finished with blue paint.

The general base size is 60 cm x 60 cm with 50 mm to 1200 mm height pyramidal. It’s flexible and light weight, can be attached on the wall easily. It is a high performance broadband RF absorber and widely used for Anechoic Chambers.

Characteristics

  • Our Absorbers have a pyramid-shaped appearance, with blue color (it can be selected as request)
  • Pliable and flexible, these pyramids won’t bend after long-term use, and its absorbing properties is guaranteed for 10 years.
  • Oxygen index ≥ 29% (GB/T2406-93), which is B2 level (GB8624-1997) level flame retardant.
  • Good environmental performance, all raw materials can meet environmental requirements, non volatile, no smell and non-toxic.
  • Working conditions: general indoor application
    • Long-time working temperature: -50 °C ~ 90 °C Short-time working temperature: -100 °C ~ 120 °C
    • Relative humidity: 55% ± 15% Frequency range: 30 MHz ~ 110 GHz

Installation method:

An environmental protective adhesive is generally used to paste the absorbers on the shield body (inside of the Faraday cage). If the absorber height is below 500mm, Velcro installation can be applied. Fasteners can also be used to install the absorbers to facilitate the replacement of absorbers and the relocation of chambers when is  necessary.
