Abstract
In this study, we propose a new design of a portable meter of reflection coefficients of radar absorbing coatings. An experimental comparison of the reflectivity meters of the new and traditional types is performed. The technical, operational, and cost advantages of a meter of a new type are shown. The efficiency of the meter calibration system was developed and proven, and the optimal geometric parameters of the antenna probe that ensures high-accuracy measurements of the reflection coefficient of radar absorbing coatings were determined.
