RFMW, Ltd. announces the availability of RF absorber material tuned to customer specific applications. These free samples are electrically tuned (optimized) to absorb unwanted RF emissions between 1 and 40GHz based on design requirements provided by the user. These magnetic “Tuned Frequency” absorbers are intended for specular reflection loss or for customers who experience cavity resonance effects at discrete frequencies. Designers can expect customized samples to ship within 3 to 5 business days. MAST absorber materials are engineered to reduce or eliminate RF and microwave noise associated with electronic circuits by attenuating the electromagnetic waves and converting them to heat.…

RFMW , Ltd. announces application and sales support for the Telemakus TEP2000-4 digital phase shifter. This laboratory quality phase shifter has a minimum phase range of 360 degrees with 12-bit, 0.25 degree resolution and operates over the bandwidth of 1 to 2GHz. Maximum RF input for linear operation is +6dBm but the device can handle up to +20dBm. Typical insertion loss through the TEP2000-4 is only 4dB. When coupled with the TEA4000-7 USB controlled RF attenuator, a gain and phase control system can be created. Applications include phased array antenna testing. Weighing less than an ounce each, Telemakus test devices…
RFMW Ltd., announces the availability of a new white paper explaining the properties and advantages of various conductive rubber materials for use in RFI/EMI mitigation.
