Abstract :
Several conductive polymer samples of various thicknesses were measured at a frequency range of 26.5 to 60 GHz. Samples of conductive polymer were measured for transmission and reflection characteristics using a Hughes millimeter-wave waveguide network. It is shown that thin, lightweight planar samples of a particular conductive polymer significantly reduce reflections while providing a high transmission loss over a broad frequency range
