Therefore, in applications where high radar energies are involved, cooling fans are used to exhaust the heat that is generated. The lower conductivity reduces surface currents and results in less reflection. We will also attempt an insight into the relation between the fundamental electromagnetic properties and shielding performance and propose some effective figures of merit. Magnetic losses in a screen may additionally attenuate surface currents and therefore reduce radiation from any slots and openings on the screen.Additional absorption, which occurs due to dissipation of electromagnetic energy inside the shield material, is associated with the dielectric and magnetic losses.
Since a closed enclosure forms a resonant cavity, possible slots or openings may compromise the SE of such an enclosure at the frequencies of the cavity resonant modes. Absorption within the foam material occurs when radar energy is converted to heat in the conductive particle. Work is also progressing in visual wavelengths, as well as infrared wavelengths (LIDAR-absorbing materials).Radars work in the microwave frequency range, which can be absorbed by multi-wall nanotubes (MWNTs).
This material, which was used on early versions of the F-117A The need for microwave absorbers and radar-absorbing materials is ever growing in military applications as well as in civilian applications.
We are not going to discuss these regulations, but refer to The most cost-effective approach is to provide the acceptable levels of EME and immunity of an electronics product at the stage of its design. The main requirements to the inclusions of absorbing EM shielding materials are the presence of significant electrical conductivity and/or permeability; significant electromagnetic loss over the given frequency ranges; availability in the desirable shape and with the certain aspect ratios; minimum chemical interaction with the host material; corrosion resistance; suitable size, weight, cost; shelf-life durability; no shedding-off from the composite; excellent abrasion strength; and ease of processing during preparation of the required mixture.

Radar-absorbing material (RAM) is a specialist class of polymer-based material applied to the surface of stealth military aircraft, such as the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II (Fig. RAMs must be used with other stealth technologies such as design adaptations of the aircraft shape to minimize the radar cross section. pp 528–531. A composite absorber that uses nanooxide particles in combination with a polymer matrix offers a large flexibility for design and properties control, as the composite can be tuned and optimized via changes in both the nanooxide inclusions (Ni/OMC, Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the important new materials for the rapidly growing technology development of PANI-based electronic devices such as sensors, corrosion protection, and Adhesives used for bonding aircraft components and sandwich composites are usually thermosets, such as epoxy resin. Conventional aircraft, such as passenger airliners, are easily detected by radar because of their cylindrical shape together with bumps from the engines and tail plane. Methods of detecting the presence of hostile vehicles can be based on radar signals reflected from the threat, thermal images, arising from the temperature differences between the threat and the background, laser reflections, as well as the noise produced by the threat, which can be detected and analyzed. Radar-absorbing material (RAM) is a specialist class of polymer-based material applied to the surface of stealth military aircraft, such as the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, to reduce the radar cross-section and thereby make them harder to detect by radar.Radar is the most common technique for the detection and tracking of aircraft.
