Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a broad bandwidth electromagnetic wave absorber comprising a sintered ferrite and a CuO-Fe2O3 system. The CuO-Fe2O3 system, a spinel ferrite, has its own magnetic property, which makes it possible to be used for an electromagnetic wave absorber. The CuO-Fe2O3 system is preferentially located at the grain boundary in the matrix ferrite. This resulted in increase in the total loss, decrease in matching thickness and shift in the center frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
An electromagnetic wave absorber for use in broad frequency ranges comprising a sintered wave absorbing ferrite material having a CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinal-structured material present at the grain boundaries of the sintered ferrite material, wherein said spinal-structured material contains from about 40 to about 60 mol % CuO based on the total amount of CuO--Fe 2 O 3 and having different magnetic properties from the sintered ferrite material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
An electromagnetic wave absorber for use in broad frequency ranges comprising a sintered wave absorbing ferrite material having a CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinal-structured material present at the grain boundaries of the sintered ferrite material, wherein said spinal-structured material contains from about 40 to about 60 mol % CuO based on the total amount of CuO--Fe 2 O 3 and having different magnetic properties from the sintered ferrite material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The electromagnetic wave absorber of claim 1 wherein said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material is a liquid at or below the sintering temperature of the wave absorbing ferrite material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The electromagnetic wave absorber of claim 1 wherein said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material is composed of CuO and Fe 2 O 3 which are added in the form of (i) oxide, or (ii) salts or compounds that transform into oxides during calcination or sintering.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of preparing an electromagnetic wave absorber for use in broad frequency ranges comprising: (a) calcining a ferrite wave absorbing material; (b) mixing said calcined wave absorbing material with a CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material containing from about 40 to about 60 mol% CuO; and (c) sintering said mixture formed in step (b) under conditions effective to cause said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material to be distributed along the grain boundaries of said ferrite wave absorbing material.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of preparing an electromagnetic wave absorber for use in broad frequency ranges comprising: (a) calcining a ferrite wave absorbing material; (b) mixing said calcined wave absorbing material with a CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material containing from about 40 to about 60 mol% CuO; and (c) sintering said mixture formed in step (b) under conditions effective to cause said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material to be distributed along the grain boundaries of said ferrite wave absorbing material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 4 wherein said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material is added in an amount from about 1 to about 5 wt. %.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 4 wherein said mixture is sintered at a temperature not greater than 1250° C. for a period of time not greater than 2 hrs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 4 wherein said CuO--Fe 2 O 3 spinel-structured material is a liquid at or below the sintering temperature of said wave absorbing ferrite material.
