Abstract

A low-frequency coaxial reflectometer(LCR) with a thin-wire inner conductor is designed and constructed to measure nondestructively the absorbing performance of electromagnetic absorbers in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 200 MHz. The LCR consists of a square coaxial transmission line and a network analyzer with a time-domain measurement capability. Inherent characteristics of a square coaxial line with a thin-wire inner conductor which deteriorate the impedance matching of the input port of the LCR are addressed. And the characteristics are improved by employing a multiwire inner conductor. Measured and calculated reflection losses of a flat ferrite tile absorber are presented.
