XB SERIES | RF ABSORBERS
Thin, flexible RF absorber solutions from 8.0 to 12.0 GHz.
XB Series Overview
Our XB Series is a precision-engineered RF absorber material formulated for RFI mitigation in the 8.0 to 12.0 GHz frequency range. Based on an iron-loaded silicone elastomer, the XB Series is ideal for mid-microwave applications where wave control, absorption, and clean signal performance are essential.
Its performance and mechanical flexibility make the XB Series an excellent choice for reducing interference in compact radar-based systems, including gesture recognition modules, occupancy sensors, and collision avoidance systems in automotive and industrial applications. It’s also effective in suppressing reflections in high-frequency test and measurement setups, ensuring cleaner signal paths and more accurate readings.
The XB Series integrates easily into densely packed enclosures, and its ability to attenuate unwanted radiation in tight bands makes it a go-to solution for microwave designers optimizing near-field performance. Custom die-cutting, PSA backing, and varying thicknesses provide production-ready compatibility across use cases.
