ECCOSORB^TM CR/MF is a widely used absorber at radio and millimeter wavelengths. It is used both at room and at cryogenic temperature to realize loads and calibrators both for laboratory and for space-borne instruments. Data on its RF properties are available from the data sheet at room temperature. But it is also widely used outside the design wavelength range and at cryogenic temperature, where specific measurement of electromagnetic and thermal properties are needed. Scarce information is available in the literature and inconsistencies are frequent. We report here new RF data in Ka and W-band at room temperature obtained with waveguide measurements with different setups.
