EMI MICROWAVE ABSORBERS EAMICROWAVE ABSORBER - EMI/RF ABSORBER - RAM - FLEXIBLE FERRITE Leader Techs absorbing products are utilized to attenuate microwave energy from 500 MHz to 80 GHz. The unwanted electromagnetic energy is converted into a miniscule amount of heat. Absorbers are composed of either iron-infused silicone or carbon-coated polyurethane foam. Greatest performance is achieved when absorber thickness is comparable to a quarter of the wavelength of the offending frequency.
