Abstract

The bandwidth of detecting radars used for military purpose is increasingly broadened, and recently, the frequency band of the detecting radars is expanding to millimeterwave bands of the millimeterwave bands of 35 GHz and 94 GHz. Since, especially, it is essential and important to fabricate and develop EM wave absorber with the absorption ability more than 10 dB in 94 GHz band, the EM wave absorber was manufactured based on the design method by FDTD simulation. As a result, the developed EM wave absorber with the composition ratio of Binder(CPE with additional materials) : Carbon = 70 : 30 wt.% has the thickness of 0.7 mm and the absorption ability more than 14 dB in the frequency range of 94 GHz.

군사적인 용도로 사용 중인 탐지레이더는 사용대역이 점점 광대역화 되고 있으며 최근에는 Millimeter-Wave 영역까지 확장되고 있다. 탐지를 목적으로 하는 군사용 레이더의 Millimeter-Wave 사용대역은 대부분이 35 GHz와 94 GHz 영역이기 때문에 탐지 회피를 위한 전파흡수체의 설계는 필수적인 문제라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 94 GHz 대역의 전파흡수체를 10 dB 이상의 흡수능을 가지도록 개발하기 위하여 연구를 진행하였으며, FDTD를 이용해 시뮬레이션 결과를 토대로 94 GHz 대역의 전파흡수체를 제작한 결과, 조성비 Binder(CPE 외 additional material) : Carbon=70 : 30 wt.%, 두께 0.7 mm에서 14 dB 이상의 흡수능을 나타내었다.
