The material constants(the complex permeability and permittivity) of ferrite composite determine its microwave absorbing characteristics. Therefore, in order to improve the microwave absorbing characteristics, it is necessary to control the material constants of the ferrite composite. In this study, the method of improving microwave absorbing characteristics by control of permittivity of ferrite composite which has not satisfying matching condition in C-X band (4 GHz~12.4 GHz) was investigated. It was possible to control the permittivity by adjusting graphite loading ratio in the ferrite composite microwave absorber. It was also concluded that the control of permittivity of ferrite composite is effective method to improve the microwave absorbing characteristics.

According to the increase of occupation density of microwave frequency band on use microwave environments have been congested extensively. For shielding unnecessary electromagnetic wave of preventing the electromagnetic wave reflection a good conductor a low resistive material or a lossy material is mainly used. As a method to measure the absorbing characteristics of microwave absorber the fundamental microwave measuring method can be used. There is however a big problem in measuring errors since the wavelength of microwave is very short especially as in the case as microwave absorber for RADAR. Therefore this research aimed to a converting adaptor of 20mm${\Phi}$ coaxial tube from a Type-N connector to 20mm${\Phi}$ coaxial tube and to use it for designing microwave absorber and evaluating absorbing characteristics. Furthermore the measurements of absorbing characteristics and material constants have performed and reviewed which were carried out by using the coaxial tube in the short type and by using rectangular waveguide respectively As a result the validity of the measured values have been confirmed.

Microwave absorbing properties of ferrite-epoxy composite (absorbing layer) attached on the carbon fiber polymer composite (reflective substrate) are analyzed on the basis of wave propagation theory. A modified equation for wave-impedance-matching at the front surface of absorbing layer including the effect of electrical properties of the quasi-conducting substrate is proposed. Based on this analysis, the frequency and layer dimension that produce zero-reflection can be estimated from the intrinsic material properties of the obsorbing layer and the substrate. It is demonstrated that the microwave reflectivity of carbon fiber composite has a strong influence on the microwave absorbance of front magnetic layer.

The effect of heat-treatment temperature on the microwave absorbing properties was investigated in Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 specimens. The composite specimens were prepared by modling and curing the mixture of prereacted ferrite powder and silicone rubber. The measurement of complex permeability and permittivity was made by the reflection/transmission method. The most sensitive material constants with heat-treatment temperature is the imaginary (loss) component of permeability. The higher the heat-treatment temperature, the greater the magnetic loss. The composite specimens with high magnetic loss exhibited superior microwave absorbing properties. The quantitative estimation of microwave absorbing properties were made by plotting the observed material constants on the calculated solution map of impedance-matching.

In this paper, the microwave absorbing characteristics after the impact of the radar-absorbing structure (RAS) consisting of periodic pattern sheet (PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) were experimentally investigated. The fabricated RAS effectively absorbed the microwave in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). In order to induce the damage to the RAS, a low-velocity impact test with various impact energy of 15, 40, and 60 J was conducted. Afterward, the impact damage was observed by using visual inspection, non-destructive test, and image processing method. Moreover, the absorbing performance of intact and damaged RAS was measured by the free-space measurement system. The experiment results revealed that the delamination damage from the impact energy of 15 J did not considerably affect the microwave absorbing performance of the RAS. However, fiber breakage and penetration damage with a relatively large damaged area were occuured when the impact energy was increased up to 40 J and 60 J, and these failures significantly degraded the microwave absorbing characteristics of the RAS.

A research for the optimal design of microwave absorbing material featuring for the broadband has been conducted to apply to warship. A multilayered structure was suggested using wave absorbing layers and resistance layer to perform high performance in broadband frequencies. For the optimization of the wave absorbing characteristics, the thickness and permittivities of the absorbing layers as well as the surface resistance of the resistant layer were determined using genetic algorithm. The data base of permittivities related to the density of the dielectric materials and loss materials was obtained by the experiments for the dielectric constants of the absorbing layers, furthermore, the results were numerically expressed and used for the optimization.

The absorbing structure composed of multi-layered fiber reinforced composite materials was designed and microwave absorbing properties are investigated. On the basis of transmission line theory, the theoretical equations to predict the reflection loss and the appropriate composite material for each functional layer are suggested. The most significant result of this study is the successful design and fabrication of triple-layered composite laminates which has the superior microwave absorbing porperties (more than 10 dB in 4∼12 GHz range), without using the ferrite filler in the impedance transforming layer. In the two-layered composite laminate (absorber/substrate), however, the use of ferrite filler (about 40 wt %) in the absorbing layer is necessary to obtain the certain level of microwave absorbance. By combining the glass-fiber composite with ferrite filler and carbon-fiber composite substrate, the microwave absorbing properties more than 10 dB in 4∼12 GHz frequencies than be obtained.

Magnetic and dielectric properties of rubber composites are controlled by using two kinds of high-permeability metal particles with different electrical conductivity (Sendust, Permalloy), and their effect on microwave absorbance has been investigated, focusing on the quasi-microwave frequency band (0.8-2 GHz). Noise absorbing sheets are composite materials of magnetic flake particles of high aspect ratio dispersed in polymer matrix with various filler amount of 80-90 wt.%. The frequency dispersion and magnitude of complex permeability is almost the same for Sendust and Permalloy composite specimens. However, the complex permittivity of the Permalloy composite (${{\varepsilon}_r}^{\prime}{\simeq}250$, ${{\varepsilon}_r}^{{\prime}{\prime}}{\simeq}50$) is much greater than that of Sendust composite (${{\varepsilon}_r}^{\prime}{\simeq}70$, ${{\varepsilon}_r}^{{\prime}{\prime}}{\simeq}0$). Due to the large dielectric permittivity of Permalloy composite, the absorbing band is shifted to lower frequency region. However, the investigation of impedance matching reveals that the magnetic permeability is still small to satisfy the zero-reflected condition at the quasi-microwave frequency band, resulting in a small microwave absorbance lower than 10 dB.

In this study the correlation between material constants and microwave absorbing characteristics of ferroxplana composite microwave absorber used in X-band was investigated. The real part of permeability(${\mu}_{r}'$) was decreased and the imaginary part of permeability(${\mu}_{r}"$) of ferroxplana composite was increased with increaing ferroxplana loading ratio(F/R). The frequency showing maximum attenuation was shifted to lower frequency with increasing absorber thickness. The absorber 2.6 mm thick showed good band width property and 3.2 mm thick showed good attenuation property. From the apphcation of ferroxplana composite's material constants to the region of material constants which satisfy broad band width, it is found that the absorbing characteristics were estimated quantitatively. Estabhshment of material constants' region which satisfies broad band width can make practical application to design of high performance ferrite microwave absorber.
