ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO-LAYER STRUCTURES BASED ON TRANSITION METAL OXIDES

Abstract

The aim of the work, the results of which are presented in the framework of the article, was to study the of electromagnetic radiation interaction laws in the frequency range 0.7…17 GHz with two-layer structures, the surface layer of which was made using powdered titanium dioxide, and the inner layer was made using a powder material based on oxide ferric iron. The thickness of the layers of the studied structures varied from 0.3 to 1 cm. To achieve this goal, theobjectives associated with the development of a methodology for the manufacture of multilayer structures based on composite materials containing transition metal oxides, as well as with the measurement of such structures samples electromagnetic radiation reflection and transmission coefficients in the frequency range 0.7...17 GHz. These measurements were carried out using a panoramic meter of reflection and transmission coefficients SNA 0.01–17. Based on the obtained measurement results, it was shown that in the frequency range 0.7…2 GHz, the lowest values of electromagnetic radiation reflection coefficient, reaching –20 dB, are characterized by structures whose surface layer thickness is 1 cm, and in the range 2 ... 17 GHz – structures, thickness the surface layer of which is 0.5 or 1 cm (depending on the thickness of the inner layer). The values of electromagnetic radiation transmission coefficient in the frequency range of 0.7...17 GHz of such structures reach –23 dB. Based on the results of the study, it is proposed to use the considered structures in the process of creating shielded rooms or improving the latter (for example, in cases, when it's necessary to reduce the level of passive interference in rooms shielded with metal materials).
