AN
Flexible Foam Sheet Broadband Microwave Absorbers
Material Characteristics
•
•
•
•
Lightweight,
flexible,
broadband,
open-cell,
polyurethane foam absorber
Carbon loaded, laminated polyurethane sheets
Frequency range from 600 MHz -40 GHz
Designed to reflect less than –17 dB of normal incident
energy above specified frequencies and relative to a
metal plate
Does not support fungal growth per MIL-STD-810E
Can be readily cut on a band saw, with scissors, die, or
a sharp knife
Availability
•
•
•
Standard sheets are 24” x 24” (61 cm x 61 cm)
Thickness depends upon the lowest desired frequency
of operation required
ECCOSORB
®
AN is available in other sizes and
customer specified configurations, incorporating miter
cuts or attachment to metal parts
Can be manufactured, on special order, on a mandrel,
to take a contoured shape.

Applications
•
•
ECCOSORB
®
AN is commonly used for the lining of
small test chambers to reduce reflections
ECCOSORB
®
AN has been used in reducing crosstalk
between adjacent antennas, shrouding antennas to
improve the antenna patterns and undesired
backlobes, as well as selective shadowing of parts of a
target for RCS measurements
Shadowing of posts and supports in anechoic
chambers, and as absorbing blankets for testing radar
systems without harm to personnel
For isolation of components or antennas by means of
insertion loss, it can be used without a metal backing
•
•
•
•
•
To obtain low reflectivity, the absorbers must be
mounted on a metal surface. If a metal surface is not
available, ECCOSORB
®
AN can be supplied metal
backed with aluminum foil (ML)
Layering of multiple pieces or slicing off part of the
thickness will degrade the overall performance
Reflectivity performance also degrades for off-normal
bistatic incidence and at different rates for different
polarizations
ECCOSORB
®
AN can be securely bonded to itself or to
other materials such as metal, wood, and common
plastic composites. The recommended adhesive is
ECCOSTOCK
®
13-111-NF.
Environmental Properties
•
ECCOSORB
®
AN is
not
waterproof and will not operate
correctly when wet.
Since there is no washout,
ECCOSORB
®
AN will function as expected after being
allowed to dry
A special CERSEAL coating to prevent moisture uptake
in high humidity to moderately wet environments is
available on special request
For waterproof applications, see ECCOSORB
®
ANW or
ECCOSORB
®
AN can be coated with CERSEAL
