RFMW, Ltd. announces the availability of a white paper discussing the proper selection of microwave absorbing and EMI shielding products. This Technical Bulletin from MAST Technologies defines the characteristic properties of various elastomers used in the manufacture of microwave absorbing products. For example, Nitriles show excellent resistance to petroleum based fuel and oil products so are superior to Silicone in aerospace and flight line environments. For high temperature applications or where dilute acids may be encountered, a Viton based absorber may be the best option. MAST Technologies’ elastomer based absorbers are used in a variety of commercial and military applications…

RFMW Ltd., announces design and sales support for a new line of dual use RF Absorber + Thermally Conductive pad material. Trademarked Suppress-n-Sink, the target application is reducing harmful reflections from heat-sinks and heat-spreaders used on RF components. New designs often include miniaturization as a design goal forcing the product packaging and heat sinking to be an integral part of the solution. Material advancements such as GaN, with its higher power densities, exacerbate the problem engineers face with removing heat from their designs. Once that problem is solved, the resulting RF reflections created by the heat sink’s surface can cause…
