Nanostructured radar absorbing materials (RAMs) have received steadily growing interest because of their fascinating properties and various applications compared with the bulk or micronized counterparts. These nanostructured materials have increased surface area, number of dangling bond atoms and unsaturated co -ordination on surface lead to interface polarization, multiple scatter and absorbin...

radar absorbing materials, i.e. magnetite (fe3o4) coated carbon fibers (mccfs) were fabricated by electro-deposition technique. black-colored single spinel phase fe3o4 nanoparticles was easily synthesized by hydrothermal method using reduction of a fe (iii) - triethanolamine complex in an aqueous alkaline solution at 60-80 ◦c. uniform and compact fe3o4 films were fabricated on nitric acid treat...

graphene nanostructures were synthesized by hummer method. 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% of graphene nanostructures were suspended in certain amount of acetone on a mechanical stirrer and stirred then added to epoxy resin. after 4 hours, solution and graphene platelets (gps) were prepared. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem ), fourier transform i...

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)...

We have successfully prepared Fe3O4/MWCNT nanohybrid with a very simple and economical method. Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNT) encapsulated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via pyrolyzing of ferrocene. The sample was characterized with XRD, TEM and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Also, Permeability (µ) and Permittivity (ε) were...

Radar-absorbing materials are used in stealth technologies for concealment of an object from radar detection. Resistive and/or magnetic composite materials are used to reduce the backscattered microwave signals. Inability to control electrical properties of these materials, however, hinders the realization of active camouflage systems. Here, using large-area graphene electrodes, we demonstrate ...

In this paper, a novel method of partial coating to reduce the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a complex shaped perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) aircraft, of electrically large size, is proposed. The physical optics (PO) method is used to identify the hot spots of the PEC aircraft. An empirical procedure is then proposed to coat partial contiguous areas with Radar Absorbent Material (RAM). ...

n A new antenna and radar-cross-section measurements facility consisting of four anechoic chambers has recently been constructed at Lincoln Laboratory on Hanscom Air Force Base. One of the chambers is a large compact range facility that operates over the 400 MHz to 100 GHz band, and consists, in part, of a large temperature-controlled rectangular chamber lined with radar-absorbing material that...
