Complex permeability and permittivity variation of carbonyl iron rubber in the frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz

The complex dielectric permittivity (e) and magnetic permeability (m) of Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) based on metallic magnetic particles (carbonyl iron particles) embedded in a dielectric matrix (silicon rubber) have been studied in the frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz. The relative permeability and permittivity of carbonyl iron-silicon composites for various mass fractions are measured by the transmission/reflection method using a vector...
