ARC Technologies exhibits at DesignCon 2016, more trade shows to come

Amesbury, Massachusetts, February 23, 2016 — Last month, ARC Technologies (http://arc-tech.com/) showcased their wide range of capabilities to solve microwave and RF interference, radar absorbing material, and EMI shielding challenges at 2016 DesignCon (www.designcon.com) in Santa Clara, CA.

ARC Technologies exhibited new testing capabilities and solutions, including their newest Hot Melt Absorbers, Focused Beam Testing system providing electromagnetic test capabilities up to 110 GHz, the ARC Clear Conductive Electromagnetic Shielding AC2ES, and the latest automotive anti-collision radar materials. The latest Hot Melt Absorber product line gives the customer a very simple and fast way to apply absorber to a surface that requires noise suppression, for example a PCB. Different hot melt products are available depending on application and frequency requirement.

The AC2ES is an advanced, optically clear, transparent, thin-film conductor that provides excellent EMI shielding and conductivity. It is a robust, ultra-thin, flexible film incorporating conductive nanoparticles and a low-cost direct replacement for Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films. AC2ES is available in flat or 3D form, or can be supplied pre-cut to exact customers’ specifications.

Addressing automotive radar designers and autonomous vehicle technology needs for accuracy and reliability, ARC Technologies has perfected a family of optimal RF noise mitigation materials. These materials can be formulated, molded or otherwise fabricated to best suit the application. ARC Technologies can help get technology up to speed with new radar absorbing material products SB1009, SB1006, and MC1000. Its SB and MC series absorbers are weather and chemical resistant and are suitable for use on the vehicle body, bumpers and other exterior surfaces.

ARC provides material testing and qualification services to many ASTM and MIL standards. It offers electromagnetic interference test capabilities up to 110 GHz with the addition of a focused beam testing system. Measuring a material’s permittivity (ε) and permeability (μ) is critical in the design and development of high frequency materials and systems. The ARC Technologies Inc. focused beam testing system allows for non-destructive, accurate measurements of these material parameters, including reflection and transmission loss, from 2-40 GHz and 75-110 GHz. The testing service provides customers a more affordable and fast way to turn around their testing needs.

To keep up with all of Arc Technologies’ latest innovations, visit them at the upcoming RDIF Journal Live! conference in Orlando May 3rd-5th 2016. Don’t forget to request a free Engineering Survival Kit (ESK) when you see them! These kits are intended to get material engineers started in solving EMI/RF noise issues and help select the product best suited for their application.
