Abstract

This study explores the improvement of the reflection loss (RL) by controlling the reflected wave from air–absorber interface (AAI) . The reflected wave from AAI increases for a hybrid system consisted of flake-shaped carbonyl iron absorber and FeCo film coating due to the impedance mismatching. Furthermore, a great enhancement of RL is obtained since the advanced destructive interference of the reflected waves from AAI and absorber–metal interface. Our results indicate the possibility of improving the microwave absorption properties by controlling the reflected wave from AAI, which suggests an alternative method to obtain excellent microwave absorption property in any frequency region.
