Effects of Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) on the Radiated Power of Monopoles with Finite Ground Plane

Abstract

The effects of Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) on the radiation pattern of a monopole over finite ground plane are presented. The transmitted power of the monopole antenna was measured while varying the separation distances between the ground plane and the RAM. The findings of the measurements are presented in graphical form.
