Microwave Absorbing Materials: Solutions for Real Functions under Ideal Conditions of Microwave Absorption

We present general equations for metal-substrate single-layer microwave absorbing materials. The optimum electromagnetic parameters and matching thicknesses for electric-loss, magnetic-loss, and electromagnetic-loss materials are given, and possible solutions for the equations and the corresponding theoretic curves are discussed as well. The results may be helpful for designing high-performance microwave absorbing materials.
