Electromagnetic response from composite carbon-containing structures with technological inhomogeneities at EHF
Abstract The results of studies of the electromagnetic response from composite structures made of a carbon-containing polymer with the inclusion of spherical pores in the bulk of the material and with pyramidal corrugation on the surface of the material are presented. The results of modeling the frequency dependences of the transmission, reflection and absorption coefficients in the EHF range are shown. Samples of composite carbon-containing structures with technological inhomogeneities have been fabricated by 3D printing. Measurements of the electromagnetic response from experimental samples were carried out in the frequency range from 100 to 1000 GHz. At frequencies up to 250 GHz, the inclusion of air pores in the polymer volume reduces the transmission coefficient, practically does not affect the reflection, and increases the absorption. Pyramid corrugated material absorbs more than 99% of radiation in the frequency range from 200 to 635 GHz.
