Schlegel Electronic Materials (SEM) has developed the BandSorb® microwave absorbing materials with an electrical and magnetic property range that allows noise attenuation from 5 MHz to 40 GHz. Designers can easily integrate these materials into very tight spaces.
SEM can provide this material with different configurations for use in the frequency range of 1 GHz up to millimeter waves. With our own dedicated on-site manufacturing and R&D team, we work closely with our customers to provide custom solutions when needed.
RF Absorber Material Properties
The BandSorb absorbers are available as silicone rubber elastomer and a dielectric foam absorber.
The silicone rubber elastomers are available as:
SC: Silicone rubber. Flexible, high-loss, magnetically loaded, electrically non-conductive silicone rubber.
UC: Non-silicone, polyurethane rubber. Flexible, high-loss, magnetically loaded, electrically non-conductive silicone rubber.
ST: resonant absorbers which reflect -20 dB or less.
SN: ultra-thin, highly permeable EMI/RF absorber
HP: ferrite sheets for NFC & Wireless Charging
FB: Broadband flexible foam sheet absorber; lightweight high-loss carbon-impregnated dielectric foam
Next to the silicone rubber material, a lightweight, high-loss carbon-impregnated dielectric foam absorber BandSorb FB. BandSorb FB provides a very low-cost solution over the thinner rubber absorbers.
BandSorb can be used for applications requiring absorption across a wide range of frequencies such as antenna cross-talk and cavity resonance suppression.
