The invention discloses a method for detecting the wave-absorbing performance of a
carbon nanotube wave-absorbing material, relates to a method for calculating an electromagnetic wave
reflection coefficient, and belongs to the technical field of
nondestructive testing. Carbon nanotubes are an important wave-absorbing material in the
stealth technology, and detection and evaluation of the wave-absorbing performance of
carbon nanotube wave-absorbing materials with different volume ratios are hot spot issues in
engineering application research. In wave-absorbing performance detection mainly basedon electromagnetic wave reflection characteristics, a
reflection coefficient curve comprises a lot of information in the aspect of wave-absorbing performance of the wave-absorbing material, such as -10dB bandwidth,
reflection coefficient minimum value and
center frequency. According to the invention, modeling is carried out based on electromagnetic wave reflection characteristics in the wave-absorbing material, a new method for characterizing the wave-absorbing performance of the
carbon nanotube wave-absorbing material by using a reflection coefficient is proposed, and the
dielectric characteristics of the carbon
nanotube wave-absorbing material are quantitatively analyzed by using an equivalent resistance-
capacitance network model; a layered medium propagation model is used for analyzingreflection characteristics of electromagnetic
waves during propagation in a
metal substrate wave-absorbing medium, characteristic parameters are extracted, and the detection of the wave-absorbing performance of the carbon
nanotube wave-absorbing materials with different volume ratios is realized.
