ULTRA UHC series polypropylene based broadband electromagnetic absorbers are the latest technology for RF test applications.
The polypropylene material has a highly uniform carbon density, throughout the material, which provides for more predictable results with no discontinuities.
It is the unique production technology which is the critical factor in achieving the highest electromagnetic reflectivity performance in an antenna measurement anechoic chamber or an emc chamber.
As an international EMC chamber supplier, we provide these polypropylene broadband absorbers for EMC test chambers worldwide.
Pylons are stationary metal Device Under Test support structures designed to minimize measurement signal backscattering.
Their shapes, sizes, and construction specifications are determined by requirements such as maximum DUT size, its mechanical properties, and minimum rotator size.
