Absorption properties of radar absorbing structure laminate composites filled with Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Radar absorbing structure laminate composites composed of glass fibers, carbon fibers and epoxy resin filled with carbon nanotubes were fabricated. Two optimal double-layer radar absorbing structures were obtained, the smallest reflection loss of them was -19.23 dB and -26.60 dB respectively, and the absorbing bandwidth was 4.2 GHz and 4.0 GHz separately. It was possible to achieve out the reflection loss was smaller than -10 dB in whole 8.2 - 12.4 GHz by adopting double-layered radar absorbing structure, adjusting to the permittivity of the composites and controlling the thickness of each layer materials.
