Abstract
In this manuscript, the S-parameters, reflection and transmission coefficients, of PTFE at different thicknesses for microwave absorption applications were investigated in conjunction with WR90 T/R rectangular waveguide. Subsequently, the reflection and absorption shielding effectiveness SER and SEA values were calculated using the measured S-parameters values, in which an inversely proportional relation was found. Furthermore, using Nicholson-Rose-Weir (NRW) and Finite Element Method (FEM) approaches, the measured S-parameters were validated. Herein, the mean relative errors were calculated; in particular, it was found that the FEM delivers an upright agreement with the measured data in comparison to the utilized NRW. This suggests the usefulness of the FEM approach as a low-cost alternative for the actual laboratory investigation.
