Technical FAQ

Here are a few commonly asked engineering and application questions about RF and microwave absorbers:

  • An RF absorber is a material designed to absorb radio frequency and microwave energy to reduce reflections and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

  • Common materials include carbon-loaded foams, silicone rubbers, ferrite ceramics, and composites engineered for specific frequency ranges and absorption characteristics.

  • RF absorbers are used in aerospace, defense, telecommunications, electronics manufacturing, and testing environments to control EMI and improve signal integrity.

  • TennMax provides a range of RF absorbers including flexible silicone sheets, molded gaskets, and custom form-in-place (FIP) solutions tailored to your application.

  • Consider frequency range, absorption efficiency, mechanical properties, environmental conditions, and form factor. TennMax experts assist in selecting or custom-designing the ideal absorber.
