Numerical analysis, experimental verification and criterion establishment of non-magnetic microwave absorbing material.

[Display omitted] • Simplify and derive the formulae based on TRL theory and computer programs to demonstrate the relation between parameters. • Derived from the relation of ε' and ε'', a criterion is established to decide what parameters have the possibility of absorbing performance. • A new fitting method is utilized to construct the relation between permittivity and content of absorber. Non-magnetic materials show a great potentiality in microwave absorption with the advantages of low-density, wideband, and thin thickness. Even so, it is still difficult to accurately analyze the connection between performance and parameters. To reveal what electromagnetic parameters could lead to excellent absorbing performance, we simplify and derive the formulae based on Transmission-Reflection-Line theory (TRL) and computer programs. Based on the relation of ε' and ε'', a criterion is established to decide what parameters have the possibility of absorbing performance. Using a new fitting method, the relationship between dielectric constant and absorber content is established. Further, an instruction derived from the relation between ε' and p is used to screen thicknesses. The optimum permittivity of ultra-low reflectivity and ultra-wide band is obtained by combining the numerical analysis results. To verify the accuracy and reliability of results and deductions, the permittivity of four prepared materials and fifty published papers are investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
