For the aim of thin electromagnetic wave absorbers used in quasi-microwave frequency band, this study proposes the high-permeability magnetic composite sheets of quarter wavelength thickness (λ/4 spacer) coated with resistive film of 377 Ω/sq (impedance transformer). For the λ/4 spacer, flexible magnetic composite sheets of Fe??Si 9.5 Al 5.5 flake particles aligned in rubber matrix are prepared by conventional magnetic composite fabrication technique. Due to high permeability and high permittivity of the composite sheets, λ/4 thickness can be reduced as low as 0.5 ㎜ in 2 ㎓. The microwave absorbance (determined at 2 ㎓) of the magnetic composite sheets are found to be -4.6 ㏈ (65% power absorption) at a λ/4 thickness of 0.5 ㎜. By coating the conductive paste (graphite and carbon black dispersed in polymer resin matrix) on the λ/4 spacer (thickness = 0.5㎜), the microwave absorbance is greatly improved. When the sheet resistance of coated films is close to 377 Ω/sq, the reflection loss is reduced to -11 ㏈ (90% power absorption). This is attributed to the wave impedance matching led by the resistive film of free-space impedance combined with a λ/4 thickness of high-permeability magnetic spacer. It is, therefore, proposed that the resistive film/magnetic composite structure with controlled electrical properties and thickness can be useful as thin microwave absorbers used in quasi-microwave frequency band.
