Development of EM Wave Absorber for Countermeasure against EM Wave Environment of 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN

In this paper, the EM wave absorber was designed and fabricated for improvement of Wireless LAN environment at 2.4 GHz. We fabricated several samples in different composition ratios of Sendust and CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene). Absorption abilities were simulated in accordance with different thicknesses of the prepared absorbers and changed complex relative permittivity and permeability due to composition ratio. The mixing ratio of Sendust and CPE was searched as 80: 20 wt.% by experiments and simulation Then the EM wave absorber was fabricated and tested using the simulated data. As a result, the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on simulated data. Simulated and measured results agreed well. As a result, the developed EM wave absorber with thickness of 3.25 mm has absorption ability of 19 dB at 2.4 GHz.
