Abstract: The effects of the particle size of sendust, which is an alloy of Al 5%, Si 10%, and Fe 85%, on the absorption characteristics of composite electromagnetic wave absorbers made of polystyrene resin and sendust were investigated in the frequency range from 1 to 40 GHz. The size of sendust particles was varied between approximately 5 and 20 m. A metal-backed single-layer absorber made of 20 m sendust particles absorbed more than 99% of electromagnetic wave power at frequencies above 20 GHz. Meanwhile, a composite made of 5 m particles exhibited a return loss of less than −20 dB in the frequency range of not only several GHz but also above 30 GHz. In addition, the relative complex permeability r* was shown to be controlled by adjusting the particle size of sendust, and an electromagnetic wave absorber with a flexible design was proposed.

Abstract: Composite electromagnetic wave absorbers made of a soft magnetic material (permalloy or sendust) and polystyrene resin were investigated [1]. The volume mixture ratio of magnetic material was varied in the range from 18 vol% to 75 vol%. The composites with the low volume mixture ratio of soft magnetic material absorbed more than 99 % of electromagnetic wave power in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 10 GHz. The values of the real part
r’ of the relative complex permeability
r * for both magnetic materials were less than unity at frequencies above approximately 6 GHz as the volume mixture ratio of magnetic material increased. This result suggests the possible realization of an electromagnetic wave absorber that can operate above 10 GHz.

Abstract: The frequency dependences of the complex permeability μ r*, complex permittivity ε r*, and return loss were investigated for composite electromagnetic wave absorbers made of soft magnetic materials (permalloy or sendust) and polystyrene resin. For permalloy, two types of particle shape were used: grain-type or flake-type. The volume mixture ratio of magnetic materials was varied in the range from 40 % to 70 %. The values of the real part μ ’ and imaginary part μ ” of μ r * increased with increasing mixture ratio of magnetic materials. The frequency dependence of μ r * for flake-type permalloy composite was similar to that for sendust composite. All absorbers showed the absorption of electromagnetic waves in the frequency range above 1 GHz.

Abstract: It is found through simulation that composite electromagnetic wave absorbers made of Ni-Zn ferrite and SiO2 particles, which are isolated in the continuous medium of Ni-Zn ferrite, show good absorption. In particular, absorbers show absorption in the frequency regions both below and above 1 GHz for the mixing ratio of SiO2 of 80 mol%. To simulate the complex permeability of the composite materials, we considered some arrangements of SiO2 in the Ni-Zn ferrite medium. Measured values of complex permeability are close to simulated ones above 1 GHz.

Abstract: It is found through simulation that electromagnetic wave absorbers made of composites of Ni-Zn ferrite and SiO2 particles, which are isolated in a continuous medium of Ni-Zn ferrite, show absorption in the frequency regions both below and above 1 GHz. The measured complex permeabilities are close to simulation values above 1 GHz. Both absorbing bandwidth and center frequency of the composites are close to the desired values expected from the simulation result.
