Definitions

  • the invention relates to panels utilized in construction of buildings for the purpose of absorbing electromagnetic waves, particularly in the frequency ranges of radio transmissions, television transmissions, and microwaves, and more particularly to such panels made up of two or more distinct materials, such as composites and multi-layered panels.
  • Wave absorption panels for use in building construction generally comprise a support layer of concrete or other basic building material, a reflective layer that is usually a metal mesh or other conductive material, an absorbing layer that typically is a ferrite, and an external layer, such as a silicate building tile, to protect the absorbing layer from environmental effects.
  • Other materials that have been used as an absorbing layer include conducting materials, such as carbon fibers, in a resin.
  • wave absorption panels The most successful materials for wave absorption panels, ferrites, are relatively heavy, must be up to a centimeter thick to be effective, and are relatively soft and therefore require an additional layer of building material, such as tiles, to protect them from the environmental effects.
  • wave absorption panels known in the art are bulky and heavy, making the structure expensive and unwieldy to employ on an entire building, are not capable of absorbing over the wide frequency range necessary to include all electromagnetic waves commonly present in a large metropolitan area, or both.
  • the frequency at which conventional ferrites absorb is in the 200-400 megahertz range, while VHF television frequencies range from about 100 to 250 megahertz and UHF television frequencies range from about 450 megahertz up to about 800 megahertz. Therefore, it would be highly desirable to have a wave absorption panel that is relatively light and thin while at the same time absorbs over a wide frequency range including up to about 800 megahertz.
  • the prior art wave absorption panels generally are useful only in the frequency range of television electromagnetic waves, which are the waves in which the problems due to reflection are most widespread.
  • problems with reflection of waves can have serious consequences in other specialized areas, such as radio LAN systems, which can lose data because of reflections, and airport radio control systems, in which clarity of signal can be a matter of life and death. It would be very desirable to have absorption panels that absorb strongly in the frequency ranges of these specialized uses.
  • the invention solves the above problems by providing multi-component absorbers that can be tuned to cover a wide frequency range, or to have superb absorption in a specific range, depending on the electromagnetic environmental problem defined by a specific construction site.
  • the tuning may be done by selecting the specific materials in a multi-layer stack, by selecting specific materials in a composite, by varying the thickness of the layers in a multi-layer stack or the thickness of a composite, by varying the amounts of each component in a composite, and by combinations of the foregoing.

In the preferred embodiment it is a layer of iron mesh or an iron grid, 104, that is imbedded in the concrete 102 and also serves to strengthen the concrete, as is known in the concrete art. Generally, mesh 104 is buried 1 to five inches deep within concrete 102.
  • each embodiment of absorber 106 includes multi-components, either in the sense of including two distinct material components, such as a polymer and second material as in a polymer-ceramic composite, or in the sense of including two or more distinct layers of distinct materials.

  • Protective element 108 is generally made of a conventional building material, such as a silicon-based tile that may also be decorative in nature as well as being resistant to weather.
  • An important feature of the invention is that in some embodiments, protective tile element 108 is optional, or from another aspect, forms part of absorber element 106. That is, some of the absorptive materials of the invention, such as the high dielectric constant materials (see below), are also ceramics or other hardened materials that are highly weather resistant.

This has been overcome in the present disclosure by creating a complex computer system capable of simulating various panel 100 configurations. Many actual embodiments of the panel 100 were built and compared to the results of the computer simulation system to assist in perfecting the simulation system.

Decreasing the thickness of the nickel-zinc ferrite by one millimeter results in a tile that is an excellent absorber between about 0.25 GHz and 0.5 GHz as shown in curve 118. Changing the ferrite to a manganese ferrite results in a tile that is an excellent absorber in the range between about 0.5 GHz and 0.65 GHz.
