Can be readily cut
on a band saw, with scissors, or a sharp knife
FAS is not waterproof and will not operate
correctly when wet.
Since there is not washout, FAS will
function as expected after being allowed to dry
FAS
has been used in reducing cross talk between adjacent
antennas, shrouding antennas to improve the antenna patterns
and undesired back lobes,
as well as selective shadowing of parts of a target for
RCS measurements
Shadowing of posts
and supports in anechoic chambers, and as absorbing blankets
for testing radar systems without harm to personnel
FAS is also effective
in reducing surface current waves on metal shapes
Frequency range from
2 GHz - 40 GHz
Designed to reflect less than
-20 dB of normal incident energy above specified
frequencies and relative to a metal plate
