Applications
AB7000HF absorber is typically used for applications requiring EMI control and signal
integrity improvement in the 50MHz to 10 GHz range. It is a broadband EMI absorber
designed to work in near-field applications inside and around electronic devices and
assemblies. Common applications include reduction of noise and crosstalk inside
mobile electronics, reduction of crosstalk and EMI on ribbon cables and flex cables,
reduction of radiated IC noise (applying absorber directly to the noisy IC), damping of
radiation and oscillations inside shields and cavities, and increasing signal integrity on
high speed data lines through crosstalk reduction.
Many factors determine the true attenuation of an electromagnetic interference
absorbing material, including shape and thickness, intimacy of substrate contact,
smoothness of application surface, strength and frequency of the EMI signal, etc.
Since AB7000HF absorber is a near field absorber, attenuation characteristics tend to
be very application specific. Power loss characteristics are measured using a 5cm x
5cm square of AB7000HF absorber placed on a 50 microstrip line. The attenuation
and noise dampening attained generally increases as the thickness of the material
increases.
