Design of An Ultra-Thin and Broadband Absorption Materials For Middle-Temperature Applications
Abstract A radar absorbing material (RAM) is designed based on the magnetic ceramic and frequency selective surface (FSS). The phase composition and micromorphology were characterized, respectively. The complex permittivity and complex permeability of magnetic ceramic were tested and studied from 25 ℃ to 500 ℃ temperature. Based on the experimental and simulation results, the changes of reflection loss along with the structure parameters of RAM are analyzed at 500 ℃. The relationship of reflection loss varies with temperature are studied. The analytical results show that the absorption property of the RAM increases with the increase of temperature. An optimal absorption of RAM is obtained at 500℃. When the thickness of RAM is 1.5 mm, the reflection loss lower than -10 dB can be obtained in the frequency range from 8.2 ~ 16 GHz. More than 90% microwave energy can be consumed in the RAM which may be applied in the high temperature environment.
