Radar engineers and operators measure the radar return of a given target from a given angle in terms of its Radar Cross Section (RCS), from which they can detect and completely identify that target as its type, direction, and speed. The RCS of a target may have a huge value from one angle and at the same time has a very small value from another angle. So the challenge is to reduce the RCS of an...

Sustainability and eco-efficiency are presently directing the development of the next generation of acoustic materials. In this work, foamed cellulosepolymer microsphere (PM) hybrid materials, having sound-absorbing capability, were prepared by incorporating the PMs into cellulose fibers by dehydration and foaming processes. The evolution in morphology of PMs during foaming process was investig...

In this research work cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple, general sol-gel auto-combustion method. For this study, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing coatings with different weight fractions of nano-carbon and CoFe2O4 (which, arises from both dielectric and magnetic contributions) and polymeric epoxy resin were prepared and their characteristics were fully inves...

Perfect metamaterial absorber (PMA) can intercept electromagnetic wave harmful for body in Wi-Fi, cell phones and home appliances that we are daily using and provide stealth function that military fighter, tank and warship can avoid radar detection. We reported new concept of water droplet-based PMA absorbing perfectly electromagnetic wave with water, an eco-friendly material which is very plen...

Composite elastomer microwave absorbers were developed based on two-phase hybrid filler. Nanosized magnetite was synthesized for the first time in porous texture of activated carbon. Combination fillers with high dielectric losses such as active carbon, and magnetic into filler is considered a new Hightech generation specific technical characteristics. The influence obtained shielding effective...

Metamaterials are a new class of ordered composites that exhibit exceptional electromagnetic properties not readily observed in nature. In particular, artificial materials with both negative permittivity and permeability have attracted widespread interest in recent years. These composites are constructed from an array of metallic in dielectric and magnetic substrates and exhibit unusual electro...

We have wrapped metallic cylinders with strongly absorbing metamaterials. These resonant structures, which are patterned on flexible substrates, smoothly coat the cylinder and give it an electromagnetic response designed to minimize its radar cross section. We compare the normal-incidence, small-beam reflection coefficient with the measurement of the far-field bistatic radar cross section of th...
