Compensation of reflection from an RF absorbent material with the help of a lattice of double split rings

详细

The frequency dependences of the coefficients of reflection from a lattice of double split rings excited by an RF magnetic field and from an RF-absorbent composite based on resistive films or fibers are analyzed. It is shown that partial reflections from the surface of the composite and the closely spaced lattice can compensate each other and, thus, the reflection from the composite can be significantly reduced. It is experimentally confirmed that the reflection can be decreased by more than 15 dB as compared to the reflection from the composite in the absence of the lattice.
