Prediction of Microwave Absorption Behavior of Grading Honeycomb Composites Based on Effective Permittivity Formulas

Microwave absorbing honeycomb composites with grading coating thickness are prepared by impregnation of aramid paper frame within water solutions of conductive carbon blacks. Based on effective medium method, grading impedance in the composites can be theoretically expressed by a linear approximation of the inversely tapered effective permittivity at wave propagation direction, which provides a feasible way to optimize the design of microwave absorbing honeycomb structures. The consistent result of calculations and experimental measurements for positive impedance grading design confirms the broadband absorption effect in high frequencies.
