Description
This Phase I SBIR proposal aims to develop flexible and maritime compatible radio frequency (RF) materials for microwave absorbing material applications and antenna applications at GHz frequencies. Based on the deep understanding of material physics for high frequency properties, and extensive experience in fabricating and supplying RF materials, Spectrum Magnetics proposes several material platforms featuring high magnetic permeability and permittivity. The innovative approach to fabricate flexible ceramic materials allows high concentration of magnetic constituent in composites, therefore retaining high magnetic permeability. The magnetic permeability and permittivity of the composites can be tailored to offer greater design flexibility in microwave devices. The composite materials are maritime compatible. The materials are designed such that industrial standard manufacturing practices can be used to shorten the time for commercialization.
