Microwave Absorbing Foam
RFLS - Single Layer "Lossy" Foam Absorbers
RFLS is a series of single layer “lossy” sheets produced by dipping lightweight open-celled urethane foam into a resistive solution. The end product is a uniform, lightweight, loaded sheet material with a specified insertion loss at a given frequency.
RFLS offers the lowest cost in microwave absorber products. Thickness of the sheets range from 0.125” to 1.5” (3.2 mm to 38.1 mm) and are generally 24” x 24” (609.6 mm x 609.6 mm). Custom sizes and components can be fabricated.
The insertion loss of the product is measured in an insertion tunnel over the 2 to 18 GHz frequency range. Specifications are generally given at 3 or 10 GHz. The material can be die-cut into components and supplied with a pressure sensitive adhesive for ease of application.
Fire retardant versions to UL94 HF1 are available.
Applications
- Used to lower noise in microwave components such as amplifiers, oscillators, computer housings and wireless equipment
