THE EFFECT OF Mn AND Ti SUBSTITUTED BARIUM FERRITE ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC MICROWAVE ABSORBER IN THE X-BAND RANGE

Abstract

The compositional dependence of the electromagnetic wave absorption properties of barium ferrite (BaFe 12 O 19) in which Ti and Mn were substituted for Fe, was investigated .Single phase M-type structure was obtained for BaFe 12-x (Ti 0.5 Mn 0.5) x O 19 sintered samples with composition 0≤x≤4.5 . The frequency dependence of reflection loss (R.L) obtained a minimum value of -21dB for the x-band frequency range (8-12GHz), and give a band width greater than 1GHz in the same frequency range . The grain size of the prepared powder were between (7.05-12.06 µm) .Barium ferrite-resin composites with 30,40,and 50 mass% ferrite exhipted a wide band width with R.L
