National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Properties of Composite Magnetic Components for Use With HEMAC.

Publication Date	1978

Abstract	Hybrid electromagnetic antenna couplers (HEMAC) offer the advantage of using convenient parts of the environment as antennas. In this report the synthesis and evaluation of flexible, shock-resistant, magnetic composites for use at high frequency in HEMAC coils and their characterization are described. Ferrites and carbonyl iron were cast into desired form using silicone as a matrix material. The complex impedance of the samples in the form of a coaxial line was measured from 1-100 MHz. The characteristic impedance, resistance, reactance, complex permeability and complex permittivity, and losses were computed. The real part of the permeability for all materials was found to be equal to the reciprocal of the cube of the porosity up to 100 MHz, where p is the porosity. An experimental toroid mounted in a HEMAC on a simulated rifle exhibited improved characteristics. (Author)
