Description

  The present invention relates to an electromagnetic wave absorber that can be suitably used for applications such as an anechoic chamber, a method for manufacturing the same, and an anechoic chamber.

  An electromagnetic anechoic chamber for EMC is widely used as a test site for measuring electromagnetic noise radiated from various electronic devices and evaluating the resistance of electronic devices against external electromagnetic noise. In recent years, there has been a movement to use the anechoic chamber as a place (CALTS = Calibration Test Site) for calibrating an antenna for measuring radiation noise.

  Electromagnetic wave absorbers are installed on the ceiling and walls of the electromagnetic wave anechoic chamber for EMC, and a space where electromagnetic wave reflection from other than the floor (metal surface) is extremely small is realized. As the electromagnetic wave absorber used for the ceiling and wall of the electromagnetic wave anechoic chamber for EMC, a ferrite sintered body 1 as an electromagnetic wave absorber made of a magnetic loss material and an electromagnetic wave absorber 2 containing a conductive material as shown in FIG. Combined composite wave absorbers are currently widely used.

  As a radio wave absorber including a conductive material, a base material (low dielectric constant dielectric) such as foamed polystyrene or foamed polyurethane is used to hold a conductive material such as carbon or graphite, and a pyramid or wedge shape is used. It has been frequently used in the past. The length of this electromagnetic wave absorber is usually about 0.5 to 2 m, and a larger and higher performance anechoic chamber is longer. For this reason, there exists a problem that the volume of a radio wave absorber is bulky and the transportation cost and construction cost are high.

  Therefore, in order to reduce costs by reducing material, reduce transport volume, light weight, and ease of construction, the above wave absorber is made into a hollow structure made of a thin plate wave absorber containing a conductive material and transported in a thin plate state. However, radio wave absorbers assembled on site have been proposed.

  The hollow structure wave absorber includes the hollow pyramid shape of FIGS. 21A and 21B and the hollow wedge shape of FIGS. 22A, 22B, 23A, and 23B. . 21, 22, and 23, 1 is a ferrite sintered body, and 2 is a radio wave absorber including a hollow conductive material disposed on the front surface thereof. The side surfaces (triangular surfaces) of the hollow wedge shape shown in FIGS.

The following Patent Documents 1 and 2 are examples of known techniques for a radio wave absorber including a hollow conductive material.
JP-A-11-87978 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-216584

Further, as in Patent Documents 3 and 4 below, a rectangular tube-shaped radio wave absorber and a radio wave absorber in which a radio wave absorber plate is crossed in a cross shape are also disclosed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-97096 JP 2001-127383 A

  By the way, since the wedge-shaped wave absorber has anisotropy with respect to the polarization plane of the incoming radio wave, a characteristic difference occurs due to the polarization plane of the incoming radio wave. In particular, in the case of a hollow wedge shape made of a thin plate-shaped electromagnetic wave absorber, there is a problem that the polarization characteristic difference is very large, and the high-frequency characteristic is extremely low when the wedge-shaped ridge line is perpendicular to the polarization plane of the radio wave. In order to solve the problem of characteristic difference due to the polarization plane, the wedge-shaped ridgelines of adjacent radio wave absorbers are arranged at right angles to each other when the wall is mounted, and the wedge-shaped ridgelines are parallel to the plane of polarization of the radio wave. There is a method of achieving an average characteristic in the case of vertical and vertical. However, since one characteristic (when the wedge-shaped ridge line is perpendicular to the plane of polarization of radio waves) is extremely low at high frequencies, the average characteristic is also low. In addition, when arranged on the side wall surface as described above, half of the electromagnetic wave absorbers are arranged so that the wedge-shaped ridge line is horizontal, but in this arrangement, the strength such as bending when the length becomes long There is a problem above. These problems become more conspicuous in the side opening type of FIGS. 23A and 23B, which is more advantageous in terms of cost, manufacturability, and workability.

  On the other hand, the hollow pyramid type is often used because it has no polarization plane characteristic difference and is strong in strength. However, since the low frequency characteristic of 30 to 100 MHz is inferior to the hollow wedge type, it is necessary to increase the absorber length. There was a problem.

Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a shape in which an opening is provided at the tip of a hollow cone as an electromagnetic wave absorber having no difference in polarization plane characteristics and good low frequency characteristics of 30 to 100 MHz. .
Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-161112

  However, as a problem of the radio wave absorber having an opening at the tip of the hollow cone shown in Patent Document 5, at a high frequency, the radio wave passes through the opening and reaches the ferrite sintered body. At a high frequency of 1 GHz or higher, the ferrite sintered body has a low absorption performance, so that reflection increases. Accordingly, it is necessary to add a radio wave absorber to the bottom for improving the high frequency characteristics, and the merit of the thin plate cannot be fully utilized.

  Similarly, the rectangular cylindrical shape disclosed in Patent Document 3 and those obtained by crossing the radio wave absorbing plate disclosed in Patent Document 4 in a cross shape also have a problem that the high frequency characteristics are not good because the ferrite sintered body is exposed. In order to improve the high-frequency characteristics, it is necessary to reduce the opening of the square tube or to add a small wave absorber to the bottom of the crossed wave absorber, and the advantages of the thin plate cannot be fully utilized.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, is low in cost, has a small transport volume, has a short length, has good radio wave absorption characteristics from low to high frequencies, and has no difference in polarization plane characteristics or An object of the present invention is to provide a radio wave absorber that is light in weight, strong in structural strength, easy to manufacture and install, and a manufacturing method thereof.

  Hereinafter, as the best mode for carrying out the present invention, an embodiment of a radio wave absorber, a manufacturing method thereof, and an anechoic chamber will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Embodiment 1 of a radio wave absorber and a method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of the radio wave absorber 10, and a rectangular (rectangular, etc.) thin plate-like radio wave absorber 11 is bent at two places as shown in FIG. Four tetrahedrons 20 are produced, and the triangular surface 20 a facing the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20 is connected and integrated so as to form the side surface of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22. If the triangular surface 20a forms an isosceles triangle, the hollow quadrangular pyramid has a regular quadrangular pyramid shape. The inverted triangular surfaces 20b that are bent and raised with respect to the triangular surface 20a of the hollow tetrahedron 20 are abutted against each other at one side 20c and joined to form a wedge-shaped portion 21. Therefore, in the state where four hollow tetrahedrons 20 in FIGS. 1 and 2C are combined, four wedge-shaped portions 21 are formed along the outer corners (ridge lines) of the hollow quadrangular pyramid.

  Considering the manufacturing method of the radio wave absorber shown in FIG. 1, it is most easy to understand a method in which four hollow tetrahedrons 20 are first produced as shown in FIG. However, since the bent portion of FIG. 2A becomes a connecting portion, it is difficult to provide an adhesive allowance (glue allowance). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a method using a connecting member 25 for connecting adjacent hollow tetrahedrons 20 to each other. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), cuts 26 and 27 are made in a part of the radio wave absorber 11 and bent as shown in FIGS. 4 (B) and 4 (C). The portion 28 and the slit 29 are formed at the same time, and the protrusion 28 of the other hollow tetrahedron 20 is inserted into the slit 29 of one hollow tetrahedron 20, and the portion (inserted protrusion) is bonded to the bonding allowance (glue allowance). There is a way to do it. 3 and 4, the same reference numerals are given to the same or corresponding parts as those in FIG. 2.

  In addition, the manufacturing method shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is also possible as long as it has a structure in which the four hollow tetrahedrons 20 are connected and integrated in the completed state. In this case, the 1st area | region 13 used as the triangular surface 20a-1 which opposes the opening surface of the 1st hollow tetrahedron 20-1, and the 2nd hollow tetrahedron 20 adjacent to the 1st hollow tetrahedron 20-1. The first thin-plate-shaped electromagnetic wave absorbing material 12 including the second region 14 that becomes the inverted triangular surface 20b-2 rising from the triangular surface facing the opening surface of -2 and the bonding margin (glue margin) 15 for connection is provided. A second thin-plate-shaped radio wave comprising an inverted triangular surface 20 b-1 rising from a triangular surface 20 a facing the opening surface of the first hollow tetrahedron 20-1 and a bonding margin (glue margin) 17 for connection. Absorbent 16 is used.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, four pieces in which the second thin plate wave absorber 16 is joined to the boundary position between the first region 13 and the second region 14 of the first thin plate wave absorber 12 are produced. By connecting and integrating them, the completed radio wave absorber 10 of FIG. 1 is obtained. The thin plate wave absorbers 12 and 16 can be connected by applying an adhesive to the bonding margins 15 and 17 or attaching a double-sided adhesive tape.

  In the manufacturing method of FIGS. 5 and 6, an adhesive allowance (adhesive allowance) is provided at the connecting portion, and up to a part of the adjacent hollow tetrahedron 20 is configured by a flat plate-like electromagnetic wave absorber 12. There is an advantage that the strength when assembled in the state of FIG. 1 can be increased.

  7 and 8 show a corrugated radio wave absorber as a thin plate radio wave absorber that can be used in the first embodiment (proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-253760). 7 and 8A show a radio wave absorber 30 having a double-sided corrugated cardboard structure, which is laminated and integrated by interposing a core 32 which is a corrugated (bently bent) sheet between liners 31 of a flat sheet. Is. The top portion and the valley portion of the core 32 bent into a corrugated shape are respectively bonded to the upper and lower liners 31 via an adhesive. At least one sheet of the liner 31 and the core 32 includes a conductive material. For example, a sheet containing a conductive material (carbon, graphite, conductive fiber, etc.) in one or both of the liner 31 and the core 32, preferably a carbon fiber mixed paper or the like can be used. A flame retardant or non-flammable material can also be used as a base material such as mixed paper constituting the cardboard.

  In addition to the radio wave absorber having a double-sided cardboard structure, a single-sided cardboard wave-absorbing material in which a corrugated core 32 is bonded to one liner 31 shown in FIG. Double-sided corrugated wave absorber with single-sided cardboard bonded to double-sided corrugated cardboard, and triple-walled wave absorber with single-sided cardboard bonded to double-sided corrugated cardboard as shown in Figure (D). It can be used as

  7 and 8 (A) to (D) have a hollow structure, and thus are light in weight and have a moderate rigidity by including a corrugated core 32, thereby absorbing radio waves. Good form retention can be maintained even after assembly to the body. Moreover, since it can be stored and transported in a flat sheet state, it is not bulky and can be transported at low cost.

  FIG. 9 (A) shows the opening shape of the rectangular tube radio wave absorber disposed on the front surface of the ferrite sintered body. When the opposing wall surface of the square tube is tilted in the direction of approaching and the opening is changed in the closing direction, Furthermore, when the radio wave absorber shape of the first embodiment according to the present invention shown in FIG. 9B (a shape in which two wedge shapes are crossed), the high frequency characteristics in the radio wave absorption characteristics are improved as follows. explain.

  FIG. 10 shows the frequency characteristics (GHz) of the return loss (dB) when the radio wave absorber disposed on the front surface of the ferrite sintered body of FIG. 9 (A) is a square tube shape, and the radio wave absorption is about 1 GHz or more. The characteristics are degraded.

  FIG. 11 shows a case where a pair of opposing rectangular wall surfaces (wave absorbers) are closed to form a single wedge shape, where the wedge-shaped tip traversal line is parallel to when it is perpendicular to the electric field of the incoming radio wave. The frequency characteristics (GHz) of the return loss (dB) are shown respectively. When a pair of wall surfaces were closed to form a single wedge shape, the high-frequency characteristics were greatly improved when the wedge-shaped tip edge line was parallel to the electric field. However, when the wedge-shaped tip edge line is perpendicular to the electric field, the improvement effect is small.

  Therefore, the shape of a wedge shape by closing the walls in both directions (two pairs) so as to be effective for both polarizations, that is, the shape of the electromagnetic wave absorber of the present invention (two wedge shapes in FIG. 9B) is intersected. Shape). FIG. 12 shows the frequency characteristic (GHz) of the return loss (dB) at this time. Compared with the characteristics of FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the high frequency characteristics of 1 GHz or more are particularly improved. It can also be seen that there is no characteristic difference due to the plane of polarization due to the symmetry of the shape.

  According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The radio wave absorber 10 has a shape in which four hollow tetrahedrons 20 with one opening are connected, can be formed by bending a thin plate wave absorber, and is transported by being transported as a thin plate wave absorber. The volume can be reduced.

(2) The radio wave absorber 10 can be assembled by bending a thin plate wave absorber and connecting with a double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive. No special tools or parts are required for assembly, and installation in an anechoic chamber is easy.

(3) The external shape of the radio wave absorber 10 is equivalent to that formed by intersecting two wedge shapes, and can provide better radio wave absorption characteristics from low frequencies to high frequencies than the pyramid shape. Are provided so as to cross each other so as to be orthogonal to each other, so that there is no difference in polarization plane characteristics.

(4) As shown in FIG. 9B, the composite wave absorber structure in which the ferrite sintered body is disposed on the bottom surface of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22 of the wave absorber 10 allows the radio wave absorption characteristics at low frequencies to be obtained. Can improve.

FIG. 13 shows Embodiment 2 of the radio wave absorber according to the present invention. Also in this case, the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22 is formed by the triangular surface 20 a facing the opening surfaces of the four hollow tetrahedrons 20, and the ridge line on the distal end side of the wedge-shaped portion 21 formed outside the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22 is formed. the length L ₁ of 21a has been shortened as compared with the first embodiment described above (dotted hatched portion in the drawing is removed). That is, when the bottom of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22 was as L _2,
2L ₁ <L ₂
It has become.

  Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

In the second embodiment, by adjusting the length L ₁ of the leading-end side ridgeline 21a of the wedge-shaped portion 21, it is possible to finely adjust the radio wave absorption characteristics.

  A third embodiment of the radio wave absorber and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 shows the external appearance of the radio wave absorber 40. A rectangular (rectangular, etc.) thin plate-like radio wave absorber 11 is folded at two locations as shown in FIG. Four tetrahedrons 20 are produced, and the shape of the same figure (C) is obtained by connecting and integrating so that the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20 forms the side surface of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 42. If the opening surface forms an isosceles triangle, the hollow quadrangular pyramid has a regular quadrangular pyramid shape. The surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20 that faces the opening surface is a triangular surface 20a, and the inverted triangular surfaces 20b that are bent and raised with respect to the triangular surface 20a are abutted against each other at one side 20c and joined together to form a wedge-shaped portion. 41. Therefore, in a state where the four hollow tetrahedrons 20 of FIGS. 14 and 15C are combined, the wedge-shaped portion 41 is formed along the outer corner (ridgeline) of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 42.

  FIG. 16 shows a thin plate wave absorber 50 used for manufacturing the radio wave absorber 40 of FIG. 14, and includes a first region 51 that becomes a triangular surface 20a facing the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20, and a triangular surface 20a. It consists of second and third regions 52 and 53 that form two inverted triangular surfaces 20b that rise, and an adhesive allowance (glue allowance) 54 for connection.

  Then, the thin plate-shaped electromagnetic wave absorber 50 is bent along the boundary lines of the respective regions 51, 52, 53, and the hollow tetrahedron 20 is produced using the bonding margin 54, and the four produced hollow tetrahedrons are produced. 20 is connected and integrated with a double-sided adhesive tape, an adhesive or the like using an adhesive margin 54 so that the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20 forms the side surface of the hollow quadrangular pyramid 22, thereby completing the radio wave absorber in a completed state. 40 is obtained.

  The external shape of the radio wave absorber 40 shown in the third embodiment is also similar to that provided by intersecting two wedge shapes, and substantially the same radio wave absorption characteristics as those in the first embodiment can be obtained. Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 17 shows a fourth embodiment of the radio wave absorber according to the present invention, in which the radio wave absorber 60 includes three hollow tetrahedrons 20 having one opening and a triangular surface 20a facing the open surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20. The hollow triangular pyramid 23 has a shape connected so as to form a side surface (so that the opening surface faces outward).

  FIG. 18 shows a fifth embodiment of the radio wave absorber according to the present invention, in which the radio wave absorber 70 includes three hollow tetrahedrons 20 having a single opening, and the open surface of the hollow tetrahedron 20 is the side of the hollow triangular pyramid 24. So that the opening surface is inward and the triangular surface 20a is outward.

  In the case of these Embodiments 4 and 5, the wedge-shaped portion 21 formed on the outside of the hollow triangular pyramids 23 and 24 faces three directions, and the incoming radio wave is compared with the conventional wedge-shaped wave absorber. It becomes a characteristic with a small difference in polarization plane characteristics caused by the polarization plane. Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In addition, although Embodiment 4 and 5 are the shapes which combined three hollow tetrahedrons, it is good also as a shape which combined five or more hollow tetrahedrons. That is, a radio wave absorber having a shape in which five or more hollow tetrahedrons having a single-side opening are connected such that a surface facing the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron forms a side surface of a hollow pyramid, or a hollow tetrahedron having a single-side opening The electromagnetic wave absorber may have a shape in which five or more of the bodies are connected such that the opening surface of the hollow tetrahedron forms a side surface of a hollow pyramid.

Also in the case of the third to fifth embodiments, the length of the ridge line on the front end side of the wedge-shaped portion formed outside the hollow pyramid is set to the length of the bottom of the hollow pyramid as in the second embodiment of FIG. It may be set shorter than half the length.
It should be noted that the thin plate wave absorber for constituting the hollow tetrahedron may have the shape of FIGS. 24 (A) and 24 (B). FIG. 24A shows a shape obtained by cutting out an isosceles triangle having a base having the same length as the top or bottom from the top or bottom of a symmetrical trapezoid. FIG. 24B shows a pentagonal shape in which an isosceles triangle having a base having the same length as the top or bottom is added to the top or bottom of a symmetrical trapezoid. Regardless of the shape, it is possible to constitute a hollow tetrahedron radio wave absorber having a single opening when bent along the boundary line of the triangular surface.
In other words, it is a configuration in which an isosceles triangle and two triangles sharing the isosceles of the isosceles triangle are connected so as to be bendable along the isosceles or are detachably arranged.
