Abstract
This paper describes a new approach to improving the low frequency reflectivity performance of geometric transition radar absorbent materials through the use of impedance loading in the form of one or more FSS layers which are incorporated into the absorber base layer. The discussion includes theoretical predictions and measured data on unmodified and modified commercially available RAM which confirm the validity of the concept.
