Suitable Applications for Injection Resin Absorber for Millimeter Wave

A lightweight, single-layer, broadband millimeter-wave absorber formed by injection molding. Formed as a single-layer structure using PA, PC, or PP resin, it is suitable for suppressing interference between components inside millimeter-wave SRR radar horns and millimeter-wave ECU housings. It can also be implemented as a key sensor technology in automotive autonomous safety driving systems.

  • Frequency range: 76 GHz to 80 GHz
  • Absorption performance: 5 dB to 15 dB
  • Size: Standard thickness of 2 to 3 mm
  • Material: Resin (PP, PA, PC), dielectric material

Product Frequency Bandwidth Absorption Performance Size Material Use Case
EC-SORB® VHP 200MHz to 110GHz 30dB to 50dB 61cm × 61cm
Height 11cm to 114cm
Polyurethane foam + conductive carbon Suited for chamber wall
and ceiling installation
EC-SORB® AN 0.6 GHz to 320 GHz More than 20 dB 61cm × 61cm, Thickness 0.6cm to 11.4cm Polyurethane foam + conductive carbon Direct attachment or hanging on objects
where reflections must be suppressed
EC-SORB® ECP-3 3 GHz to 320 GHz Up to 50 dB 61cm × 61cm, Height 8.3 cm Urethane foam Millimeter-wave applications
and large-angle incidence

For Compact Equipment and Limited Installation Space

The MS-H series is suitable for compact devices, communication modules, antenna surroundings, and other areas where a thin, flexible sheet-type absorber is needed. It is useful for applications such as ETC, 5G, Wi-Fi/BLE, UHF-RFID, and ADAS-related equipment.

For Wide-Area Reflection Control and Test Environments

The MS-F series is recommended for larger areas where broadband absorption is required, such as wireless module evaluation, anechoic chambers, outdoor measurement support, and environments with strong reflected waves.

For Millimeter-Wave Radar Applications

The Injection Resin Absorber for Millimeter Wave is suitable for 75 GHz to 81 GHz millimeter-wave radar applications, including radar horns and mmWave radar ECU units where TX-RX interference noise must be reduced.

For High-Performance Chamber and Measurement Use

EC-SORB® VHP is suitable for chamber wall and ceiling installation where high absorption performance is required, while EC-SORB® AN works well for direct attachment or hanging around reflective objects. EC-SORB® ECP-3 is recommended for millimeter-wave applications and large-angle incidence conditions.
