Abstract

This paper presents the absorber in which it is designed and shaped to absorb incident radio frequency (RF) radiation. The absorber is designed using composite material since the significance of the project is to find a potential solution to construct a low cost anechoic chamber. This model of mini anechoic chamber, which is consisting of the new designed absorber, is portable and small in size so that it is more user friendly. The performance of the designed absorber are compared to commercial absorber available. The absorber that has been developed is a low cost absorber with the absorption rate is 16.6% less compared to the commercial absorber.
