EMI / RFHigh Performance Absorbers

Global EMC provide a wide range of anechoic absorber for RF, EMC and microwave applications. Specifically designed to reduce or eliminate the reflections from electromagnetic waves by absorbing the energy, dissipating the waves and turning it into heat energy. Designed to cover a wide frequency range, our portfolio of anechoic absorbers range from microwave absorbers, through to high power and hybrid absorbers.

RLTF-250/450/650/900 – This NEW product is a solid homogeneous resistive doped polystyrene system. This product has some major advantages including zero shedding (to cleanroom standard), precise and gap-less fit, extended lifespan, damage resistant and cleanable.

GDSxxx – This is the doped foam type, used for many years and has proved to be fully compliant in antenna measurement test chambers. This traditional option is more cost-effective.

[vc_headings style="theme2" borderwidth="3" borderclr="#3ec7ff" title="Long Hollow Absorbers" align="left" use_theme_fonts="yes" titlesize="28" titleclr="#000000"]The Global EMC ‘Hollow pyramid absorber’ is designed to give excellent return loss performance and compliance.   The GDS-CAH system has a rigid structure so that it does not deflect under its own weight even when 2 metres long.   This absorber system has a true broadband performance from 30MHz to 18GHz+ and does not suffer the problems of employing two technologies: Magnetic permeability of Ferrite tiles versus Progressive Impedance of resistive pyramidal absorbers.   This multi-layered absorber system is unique to Global EMC and the resultant performance causes compliance to CISPR EMC emission standards and all IEC/EN 61000.4.3 EMC immunity standards.   Base Dimensions: Base dimensions: GDS-CAH1300 – 334 x 334mm, GDS-CAH1600 – 400 x 400mm, GDS-CAH2000 – 500 x 500mm, GDS-CAH2400 – 600 x 600mm.   Compatible Chamber: SAC-10m-C-LP (10m CISPR16-1-4 compliant).[/vc_headings]

[vc_headings style="theme2" borderwidth="3" borderclr="#3ec7ff" title="Wedge Absorbers" align="left" use_theme_fonts="yes" titlesize="28" titleclr="#000000"]Wedge absorbers give around 20% more anechoic performance than full peak absorbers at frequencies below 1 GHz, due to their greater mass. The wedge system is used where a low-frequency bias is required.   Using the 20% mass the Wedge absorber system can save money by using smaller pyramids and the microwave performance is excellent with a return loss of -40dB at 8 x wavelength.   Global EMC’s wedge pyramid absorber gives excellent performance in compact chambers.   Compatible chambers/applications: MIL-STD461G, CISPR12/25, ETSI, Radio/Low Microwave Work.[/vc_headings]
