Abstract

An electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber is used to absorb the reflected wave that occurs on the wall of the chamber in the anechoic chamber. To date findings show that the construction of the absorber material used for the absorbers, ferrite is in the lead. A survey on materials that can be used as a carbon for the absorber is performed and the best carbon content is a mix of wood. The absorbers are made of elephant board and then coated with carbon. The absorber is measured for 10 GHz frequency. The performances of the designed absorber are compared to commercial absorbers available in terms of the absorption performance.
