Gaussian Model of Anti-Radar Properties for Coatings Based on Carbonyl Iron Powder

The article presents the Gaussian model of the electromagnetic radiation attenuation properties of two resin systems containing 75% or 80% of a carbonyl iron load as an absorber in the 4-18 GHz range. For the attenuation values obtained in the laboratory, mathematical fitting was performed in the range of 4-40 GHz to visualize the full curve characteristics. The simulated curves fitted up to a 0.998 R² value of the experimental results. The in depth analysis of the simulated spectra allowed a thorough evaluation of the influence of the type of resin, absorber load, and layer thickness on reflection loss parameters such as the maximum attenuation, peak position, half-height width, and base slope of the peak. The simulated results were convergent with the literature findings, allowing a much deeper analysis. This confirmed that the suggested Gaussian model could provide additional information, useful in terms of comparative analyses of datasets.
