Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a broad-band wave absorber wherein beams (3) formed of a ferrite magnetic material are placed at an optimal spacing and are aligned in a lattice form in longitudinal and lateral directions on a conductive plate (2). A magnetic substance of a specific thickness t m is formed into cylindrical blocks of a height d (where d≧t m ) wherein an end surface thereof is polygonal, and the cylindrical blocks are provided with a radio-wave reflecting surface aligned in such a manner that this surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the blocks, and the end surface of the blocks is approximately perpendicular to a direction from which radio waves are incident. The ferrite magnetic substance could also be formed into rectangular prisms of thickness 2t m , height d, and length in the longitudinal direction thereof L, with the prisms aligned at a spacing b on a radio-wave reflecting surface, the direction of the height dimension of the prisms being approximately parallel to a radiowave incidence direction, and the surfaces thereof of the dimensions 2t m and L being perpendicular to the radiowave incidence direction, forming a plane parallel to a magnetic field direction of incident radio waves and the dimension L, wherein the following relationships hold: L≧d≧ 2t.sub.m 20t.sub.m ≧b≧ 2.sub.tm
