A thin radar-infrared stealth-compatible structure: Design, fabrication, and characterization

A thin radar-infrared stealth-compatible structure with reflectivity below −10 dB in the whole radar X wave band and infrared emissivity less than 0.3 in the infrared region of 8 μm–14 μm is reported. The designed stealth-compatible structure consists of metallic frequency selective surface (MFSS), resistive frequency selective surface (RFSS), and metal backing from the top down, and it is only 2.1-mm thick. The MFSS is made up of some divided low infrared emissivity metal copper films, and the RFSS consists of a capacitive array of square resistive patches. They are placed close together, working as an admittance sheet because of a mutual influence between them, and the equivalent admittance sheet greatly reduces the thickness of the whole structure. The proposed stealth-compatible structure is verified both by simulations and by experimental results. These results indicate that our proposed stealth-compatible structure has potential applications in stealth fields.

Design and realization of a magnetic-type absorber with a broadened operating frequency band

In this paper, we present an efficient method to obtain absorbers with broadened operating frequency bands. They are accomplished by using conventional magnetic absorbing materials (MAMs) in the forms of array and mesh structures, which are similar to those in the case of a frequency selective surface. The proposed approach is verified not only by simulations but also by experimental results under the normal incidence at microwave frequencies. Moreover, the wideband absorber is lighter than the conventional magnetic absorber. These results indicate that our proposed absorbing structures can be used for designing good electromagnetic absorbers.

Effect of surface modification on microwave absorbing properties of magnetic metal fibers

In order to avoid forming an electrical conductive network due to surface connections, the magnetic metal fibers were coated with SiO2 for surface modification by the sol-gel process. The microstructure, composition and electromagnetic characteristics of SiO2-coated and uncoated metal fibers were studied using SEM, EDAX, and a voter network analyzer. The reflectivity was simulated using the RAMCAD software. The electromagnetic parameters and absorption properties of SiO2-coated metal fibers were improved greatly due to optimal impendence matching and the electric conductivity decreased, compared to those of uncoated materials.

PAN预氧丝BCl 3 气氛中的碳化及其吸波性能的研究

PAN预氧丝在BCl 3 气氛中进行碳化处理, 研究了处理温度与时间对纤维B元素含量的影响. 采用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、傅立叶红外分析(FTIR)、扫描电镜(SEM)对碳化后纤维的形貌与结构进行表征, 并对其吸波性能进行分析. 结果表明: PAN预氧丝在BCl 3 气氛下碳化后, 纤维表面生成了BCN包状附着物, 纤维中有B?N键的生成. 与氮气中碳化的碳纤维相比, 纤维的介电常数有所降低, 介电常数虚部降低得较快, 有利于改善纤维的吸波性能.PAN预氧丝在BCl 3 气氛中进行碳化处理, 研究了处理温度与时间对纤维B元素含量的影响. 采用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、傅立叶红外分析(FTIR)、扫描电镜(SEM)对碳化后纤维的形貌与结构进行表征, 并对其吸波性能进行分析. 结果表明: PAN预氧丝在BCl 3 气氛下碳化后, 纤维表面生成了BCN包状附着物, 纤维中有B?N键的生成. 与氮气中碳化的碳纤维相比, 纤维的介电常数有所降低, 介电常数虚部降低得较快, 有利于改善纤维的吸波性能.
