The remarkable progress of electronics and radio communications technology has made our life abundant. On the other hand, the countermeasure of EMC becomes more important socially according to the increased use of electromagnetic waves. It had been required that the absorbing ability of an electromagnetic wave absorber is more than 20 dB, the bandwidth of which is required through 30 MHz to 1,000 MHz for satisfying the international standard about an anechoic chamber for EMI/EMS measurement. From November of 1998, however, the CISPR11 has accepted the extended frequency band from 30 MHz to 18 GHz in the bandwidth of EMI measurement. In this paper, we proposed the cross-shaped type and tapered cross-shaped type absorbers satisfying the above requirments and carried out broadband design using the equivalent material constants method. Futheremore, the results have been compared with FEM, and FDTD.

The electromagnetic (EM) absorption or shielding characteristics of a material is an important issue not only for military purpose but also for commercial purposes such as radar, electric or telecommunication devices. In order to design the effective electromagnetic wave absorber, the electromagnetic characteristics of the constituents of the material should be available in target frequency band. Also, it must be possible to predict the electromagnetic properties of absorbers with respect to the content of lossy ingredients. In this study, the dielectric properties of unsaturated polyester resins containing nano-size conductive carbon black powder were measured with a free space method in the X-band frequency range and analyzed with respect to the content of carbon black. Finally, the method for estimating the dielectric properties of polymeric resin containing conductive carbon black with respect to the EM frequency was developed and verified.

Since the electromagnetic properties of fiber reinforced polymeric laminate composite can be tailored effectively by adjusting its composition and regulating the stacking sequence, it is plausible material for fabricating the radar absorbing structures (RAS) of desired performance. In order to design the effective electromagnetic wave (EM) absorber with the fiber reinforced polymeric laminate composite, its electromagnetic characteristics should be available and could be regulated easily in the target frequency bands. In this study, dielectric characteristics of the E-glass/epoxy laminate composites were measured by the free space method in the X-band frequency range ($8.2\;{\sim}\;12.4\;GHz$). In order to describe the dielectric behavior of laminate composites of arbitrary stacking sequences, the equivalent circuit model and the laminating equations for estimating dielectric properties were proposed, and experimentally verified. From the comparison of the predicted and measured data, the proposed method predicted well the experimentally measured data.

The structure, shape, size, and magnetic properties of Ni$_{0.5}$Cu$_{0.1}$Zn$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$O$_4$ have been investigated as a function of annealing temperatures. In order to control the microwave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite and the complex losses (magnetic loss and conduction loss), the effect of carbon addition was also studied. It was found that the coercive force decreased with increasing heat-treatment temperatures. Relative complex permeability and reflection loss were measured by the network analyzer. As a result, the natural resonance occurred in the low frequency tinge, and the matching frequency of the ferrite-rubber composite prepared at 130$0^{\circ}C$ was found to be lower. As heat-treatment temperatures were increased, the magnetic loss ($\mu$$_{r}$", $\mu$$_{r}$′) and the dielectric loss ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$"/$\varepsilon$$_{r}$′) were increased. It was caused that the absorption characteristics of the absorber were improved. The conduction loss and magnetic loss were expected to be occurred together because two matching frequencies were shown with carbon addition. It was confirmed that the matching frequency of the microwave absorber could be controlled by controlling heat-treatment temperatures and carbon additions.ons.tions.

In this paper, a machine learning and deep learning model for the design of circuit analog (CA) radar absorbing structure with a cross-dipole pattern on a glass fiber fabric reinforced plastic is presented. The proposed model can directly calculate reflection loss in the Ku-band (12-18 GHz) without three-dimensional electromagnetic numerical analysis based on the geometry of the Cross-Dipole pattern. For this purpose, the optimal learning model was derived by applying various machine learning and deep learning techniques, and the results calculated by the learning model were compared with the electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics obtained by 3D electromagnetic wave numerical analysis to evaluate the comparative advantages of each model. Most of the implemented models showed similar calculated results to the numerical results, but it was found that the Fully-Connected model could provide the most similar calculated results.

In this study, hexagonal ferrite powder with chemical formula SrZn_2-xCo_xFe₁₆O₂₇ was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method and its electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption characteristics were evaluated in the frequency range of 0.1-18 GHz with absorber thickness range of 0 - 10 mm. Reflection loss (RL) affecting electromagnetic wave absorption performance was calculated based on the transmission line theory using measured complex permeabilities and permittivities. RL spectra were also directly measured for some samples. They were well matched with calculated results. High-frequency complex permeability characteristics were changed gradually according to the amount of Co substitution (x). The EM wave absorption frequency band could be tuned accordingly. Hexaferrite samples with x = 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 exhibited remarkable maximum electromagnetic wave absorption performances with minimum RL (RL_min) lowered than -50 dB. They also showed a very broad frequency band (Δf > 10 GHz) in which more than 90% of the EM wave energy absorption occurred (RL ≤ -10 dB).

In this paper we present an alternative approach to addressing the problem of designing cloaks for radar targets, which have been dealt with in the past by using the transformation optics (TO) algorithm. The present design utilizes realistic materials, which can be fabricated in the laboratory, and are wideband as well as relatively insensitive to polarization and incident angle of the incoming wave. The design strategy, presented herein, circumvents the need to use metamaterials for cloak designs that are inherently narrowband, dispersive and highly sensitive to polarization and incident angle. A new interpretation of the TO algorithm is presented and is employed for the design of radar cross section-reducing absorbers for arbitrary targets, and not just for canonical shapes, e.g., cylinders. The topic of performance enhancement of the absorbers by using graphene materials and embedded frequency structure surfaces is briefly mentioned. The design procedure for planar absorbing covers is presented and their performance as wrappers of general objects is discussed. A number of test cases are included as examples to illustrate the application of the proposed design methodology, which is a modification of the classical TO paradigm.

전파흡수체의 전파흡수능 측정방법은 기본적으로 다양한 마이크로파 측정법이 이용될수 있지만 레이다용 전파흡수체의 경우 전파의 주파수가 높기 때문에 파장이 짧아서 측정오차가 큰 문제점이 있다. 따라서 한국해양대학교 마이크로파연구실에서는 전파흡수체의 전파흡수능을 실험적으로 간단히 측정할 수 있게 하기 위한 20mm$\Phi$동축관 샘플홀더 및 Type-N connector로부터 20mm$\Phi$동축관으로의 변환 Adaptor를 제작하여 전파흡수체의 설계 및 특성(전파흡수능) 평가에 사용할 수있게 한 바 있으며 또 구형도파관을 이용한 재료정수 측정법을 채용하여 시료의 형상등의 영향을 적게 받는 실측 방법에 관하여 검토하여왔다 본 논문에서는 그동안 실험실적으로 설계하여 온 X-Band Radar용 전파흡수체를 실용의 상태에 가까운 반사전력법에 의하여 그 성능을 예비평가하고 실제의 target를 제작하여 X-Band Radar로 실장실험한 결과에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.

In this study, we produced a coil of micro-pattern that can be used for electromagnetic wave absorber, heating material, wireless charging, sensor, antenna, etc. by using electrochemical additive manufacturing method. Currently, it contains research contents for manufacturing a micro pattern coil having practicality through control of process control variables such as applied voltage, distance between electrode, and nozzle injection. Circulation of the electrolyte through the nozzle injection control can significantly contribute to improving the surface characteristics of the coil because of minimizing voltage fluctuations that may occur during the additive manufacturing process. In addition, by applying the pulse method in the application of voltage, the lamination characteristics of the plated body were improved, which showed that the formation of a fine line width plays an important role in the production of a micro pattern coil.
