Abstract
Abstract It is intended to arrange a thermal barrier layer ahead of structural parts reflecting electromagnetic waves in the region of radar waves, in order to provide an absorption or a reduction of the reflection. For this purpose electrically and/or magnetically conductive materials are embedded in a material from an electric insulator for forming conductive regions. The dimensions of these conductive regions are in all planes at least a thousand times smaller than the wavelengths of the waves to be absorbed, wherein the electrically and/or magnetically conductive materials comprise a share of up to 10% of the volume of the thermal barrier layer. Herein it is provided to design the upstream cover from an electric insulator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A facade construction for high rise structures, comprising a thermal barrier facade external side formed by a cover; and a thermal barrier layer arranged between a building wall and the cover, the thermal barrier layer being arranged ahead of structural elements which reflect electromagnetic waves in the region of radar waves in an outer area of the building wall and consisting of materials which absorb electromagnetic waves, said materials being constituted by foamed plastics as an electric insulator, into which at least one of electrically conductive and magnetic materials are embedded so as to form conductive regions, the conductive regions having dimensions in all planes at least a thousand times smaller than the wavelengths of the electromagnetic waves to be absorbed and make up a share of up to 10% of the volume of the thermal barrier layer, the cover being located ahead of the thermal barrier, and the wall consisting of an electric insulator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A facade construction for high rise structures, comprising a thermal barrier facade external side formed by a cover; and a thermal barrier layer arranged between a building wall and the cover, the thermal barrier layer being arranged ahead of structural elements which reflect electromagnetic waves in the region of radar waves in an outer area of the building wall and consisting of materials which absorb electromagnetic waves, said materials being constituted by foamed plastics as an electric insulator, into which at least one of electrically conductive and magnetic materials are embedded so as to form conductive regions, the conductive regions having dimensions in all planes at least a thousand times smaller than the wavelengths of the electromagnetic waves to be absorbed and make up a share of up to 10% of the volume of the thermal barrier layer, the cover being located ahead of the thermal barrier, and the wall consisting of an electric insulator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein the thermal barrier layer has a thickness dimensioned so that energy of the electromagnetic waves impinging upon the reflecting structural members becomes nearly zero.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive materials are soot particles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic material is iron carbonyl powder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein the thermal barrier layer is built up of several layers comprising respectively different concentrations of at least one of electrically and magnetically conductive materials.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein the thermal barrier layer for absorption comprises at its external side a layer of fireproof material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
A facade construction according to claim 1, wherein a metallic screen for reflection is arranged in the cover so that a substraction is accomplishable due to the differing travel times of the reflected electromagnetic wave shares.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A facade construction according to claim 7, wherein the metallic screen is an antenna.
