The wave mechanics for microwave absorption film-Part 3: Film with multilayers

Abstract

Abstract In the field of microwave absorption, the quarter-wavelength theory (QWM) is commonly employed for films with multiplelayers. However, this study demonstrates the inadequacy of QWM as it is fundamentally flawed. The conventional results pertaining to films with or without a metal backing are typically applied to the central layers of multilayer films. Nevertheless, this approach is flawed, as it overlooks the presence of incident microwaves on both sides of the central layer, focusing solely on those in front of the film. To address this gap, our work introduces a novel theoretical framework for multilayer films, filling the void in existing literature. This research introduces a new, robust physical approach to understanding Multilayered films.
