  • Patent number: 8564472
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a conductive pattern portion formed in a pattern layer functions as an antenna, and, when electromagnetic waves at a predetermined frequency arrive, resonance occurs, and an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency is introduced into a sheet member. As to the sheet member having the pattern layer, even in a small and thin sheet member, the phase of reflected waves from the reflection area can be adjusted, and thus an area having high electric field intensity due to interference between reflected waves from the reflection area and arriving electromagnetic waves can be set in the vicinity of the antenna element. When the sheet member is disposed between an antenna element and a communication jamming member, an electromagnetic field is generated around the conductive pattern portion, and an electromagnetic energy is supplied from the conductive pattern portion to the antenna element, and therefore receiving power of the antenna element can be increased.

  • Patent number: 7804439
    Abstract: A thin, light and soft electromagnetic wave absorber is disclosed exhibiting an excellent workability. The first conductor element group of a first conductor element layer consists of aligned cross conductor elements and square conductor elements in regions surrounded by cross conductor elements. A radio wave incident from the first conductor element layer side is received by each element, internally subjected to multiple reflection and then absorbed by a first loss material layer. Since the first conductor element group is realized by the cross conductor elements and the square conductor elements, receiving effect is enhanced and the radio wave can be collected with a high collection efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7495181
    Abstract: A conductive pattern basically has a substantially polygonal outline shape which is a polygon and can have a high peak value of the electromagnetic wave absorption amount as compared to a case when the conductive pattern has a circular outline shape. Thus, the conductive pattern is basically a polygon and at least one corner portion is shaped in curve. This reduces or even minimizes the shift of the frequency at which the absorption amount becomes a peak value by the polarization direction of the electromagnetic wave. Accordingly, in at least one embodiment, it is possible to realize an electromagnetic absorber having an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption characteristic exhibiting a high peak value of the absorption amount of the electromagnetic wave and a small shift of frequency at which the absorption amount becomes a peak value by the polarization direction of the electromagnetic wave.
