Attenuation of the normal component of the reflected electromagnetic wave by combined radio-absorbing coatings.

Abstract

A combined radar-absorbent coating on a solid metal surface was studied. The structure of such coatings was developed, an experimental investigation of their frequency dependences was conducted, and scattering diagrams of both the combined surface and its constituents were obtained. The research findings of attenuating abilities for the proposed multi-layer structures are demonstrated. Keywords: Diagram of scattering, reflection of electromagnetic waves, metamaterials, ultrathin conductive films, combined coatings.
