The foam-glass material for a radio frequency echoless chambers

The conducted experiment of foam glass modification by carbon nanotubes shows increased radio absorbing properties in comparison with a foam glass without additives. Addition of carbon nanodimensional tubes in number of 1,5 wt.% increases a tangent of dielectric losses angle by 2,5 times. The coefficient of electromagnetic radiation absorption in the range of frequencies of 120 - 260 GHz increases for a foam glass with carbon nanotubes (1,5 wt. %) twice in comparison with a foam glass without additives. The foam glass modified by carbon nanotubes is recommended as the effective radio absorbing material for the device of anechoic cameras. This material is fire safety, nonflammable, environmentally friendly, rather light-weight. (paper)
