The design, analysis, and fabrication of a prototype triaxial applicator is described. The applicator provides both reflected and transmitted signals that can be used to characterize the electromagnetic properties of materials in situ. A method for calibrating the probe is outlined and validated using simulated data. Fabrication of the probe is discussed, and measured data for typical absorbing...

The Radar Cross Section of a target plays an important role in the detection of targets by radars‎. ‎This paper presents a new method to predict the bistatic and monostatic RCS of coated electrically large objects. ‎The bodies can be covered by lossy electric and/or magnetic Radar Absorbing Materials (RAMs)‎. ‎These materials can be approximated by the Fresnel reflection coefficients‎. ‎The pro...

The design of planar multi-layer coatings with high absorption for a desired frequency and angle range is presented. The design technique is based on Particle swarm optimization (PSO). PSO is an evolutionary optimization algorithm based on the bird fly. Several design cases are presented. Numerical results that are compared with the existing in the literature show the advantages of this approac...

Nowadays, applications of Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) for radar absorbing materials (RAM) are increasing, but it is still a challenge to select a proper FSS for a particular material as well as the dimensions of FSS for optimized absorption. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to optimize the dimensions of FSS for microwave absorbing application using Genetic Algorithm (GA)...

This paper presents the processing and characterization of electromagnetic radiation absorbing paints and sheets based on magnetic and dielectric materials dispersed in polymeric matrices. Two different paint formulations containing carbonyl iron and/or polyaniline, using polyurethane as matrix, were prepared. Silicone sheets were also produced with polyaniline conducting polymer as filler. Mea...

Multilayer radar absorbing materials with light weight, strong absorption, and wide absorption bandwidth are urgently demanded the increase of electromagnetic pollution. However, current design methods only simulation operation or optimization strategy not comprehensive. Here, a simulation-optimization approach including numerical calculation is proposed based on interaction between different s...

The magnetic nanoparticle composite NiFe2O4 has traditionally been studied for high-frequency microwave absorption with marginal performance towards low-frequency radar bands (particularly L and S bands). Here, NiFe2O4 nanoparticles and nanohybrids using large-diameter graphene oxide (GO) sheets are prepared via solvothermal synthesis for low-frequency wide bandwidth shielding (L and S radar ba...
