•
Antenna shrouds for low side-lobe reflector antennas
Isolation of adjacent antennas and array elements
Various camouflaging and interference suppression
applications
Military radar absorbing blankets providing stealth
ECCOSORB

HR has been used for moderate
performance anechoic chambers and less sensitive
regions of high performance chambers
The front surface should face the incident
electromagnetic energy for proper performance. To
decipher from front and back, the back side of each
panel is marked (HR-xx BACK)
ECCOSORB

HR should be bonded to a metal surface
for optimal performance. If a metal surface is not
available, it can be supplied with an aluminum foil
backing (ML) designated as HR-XX/ML
ECCOSORB

HR can be bonded with the preferred
adhesive ECCOSTOCK
