Abstract
In this paper, the glass-fiber-fabric-reinforced resin-based absorbing composites were prepared, and their microwave-absorbing properties were studied via simulation and experiment. The simulation results show that the absorption bandwidth of the absorbing material can cover the X\C\S band, respectively, at different thicknesses. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the composite with a thickness of 2.2 mm is -27.4 dB at 5.95 GHz. However, the experiment results are quite different from those of the simulation. The metallographic results indicate that it is the change of the mass fraction of the absorbents in the composites after curing that causes the difference. According to the metallographic results, three shape approximation methods were proposed to calculate the real mass ratio of the absorbents in the composites, namely, parallelogram approximation, bows approximation, and elliptical approximation. Meanwhile, the structural parameter Kf was introduced to optimize the calculation results. The electromagnetic parameters of the material based on the calculation results were measured, and the results show that the simulation results obtained via bow approximation have a better coincidence to the experiment results, and the mass ratio of the absorbent raises by around 9.95%, which lays a foundation for the subsequent design of microwave-absorbing composites.
