5G and mmWave RF Absorbers: FR2, Ka-Band, and Beyond

Short version: 5G FR2 and Ka-band satellite systems operate at frequencies from 18 GHz to 40 GHz and above, where RF absorber material selection gets more demanding. The wavelengths are shorter, the cavity dimensions are smaller, and the absorber materials need to be thinner and precisely tuned. 3PB Solutions manufactures elastomer sheet absorbers and

RF Absorber Materials and EMC Compliance Failures

Short version: If you're reading this because your device just failed an emissions test, you're not alone. It's one of the most common reasons engineers contact us. In most cases, a thin RF absorber material placed inside the enclosure is enough to get from fail to pass. 3PB Solutions can recommend the right material

PIM Mitigation with RF Absorbers: A Guide for Cell Sites

Short version: Passive intermodulation (PIM) at cell sites is often caused by antenna backlobes and sidelobes reflecting off nearby metal structures. RF absorber materials installed directly on the antenna suppress unwanted radiation patterns and reduce the reflections that generate PIM. 3PB Solutions manufactures weatherproof foam absorber panels and custom antenna kits for PIM mitigation
