LFF-9 LossyLine Flexible Filters

The “LossyLine” approach to EMI suppression is new and unique.

The principle of the “LossyLine” approach is that unwanted
 RF
energy travels through a “Lossy” medium surrounding the
conductor, 
where it is absorbed and dissipated. The lossy medium
is flexible
with high RF attenuation and low Q. It is ideally suited for
application
as a microwave low-pass type electro-magnetic interference
filter.
The usual problems inherent in conventional reactive types of

 surrpression filters, such as mismatch, reflections, grounding, and high

 VSWR, are eliminated. This approach has proven ideal for the
elimination 
of undesired RF interference in high frequency equipment,
such as radar, countermeasures, telecommunications, telemetry, etc.
In most applications, lengths of only two to five inches are adequate.

 These short lengths of flexible, small diameter, lightweight filter, are

 very easily installed and usually require no special fittings, connectors,

 and housings. The net result is low-cost, small size, lightweight
suppression filter, effective to over 100GHz.

The “LossyLine” flexible
filter can be readily installed in series or in
conjunction with existing
cables or harnesses. It is available in operating
current ratings to 50
