Contribution
It determines the optimal square resistance range for maximum attenuation and introduces new impedance-matched vane constructions with structural calculations.
Findings
Maximum attenuation occurs at 130-150 Ω resistance
Proposed impedance-matched vanes achieve low reflectivity
Structural calculations support practical vane design
Abstract
Dependence on the square resistance of the linear attenuation caused by an absorbing vane in a circular waveguide is investigated. The maximal attenuation is determined to be attained at the square resistance values in the range 130-150 . Special constructions of impedance-matched low-reflectivity absorbing vanes are proposed and production-ready structural calculation are carried out.
