Patent attributes
An electromagnetic wave absorber having an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption characteristic in 5 to 6 GHz band. The electromagnetic wave absorber has a matrix and powder filled in the matrix. The particles of the powder have electrical conductivity at least in surface regions thereof and have a particle diameter of 3 to 20 μm as expressed by D50 value. A volumetric ratio (V) in which the powder is filled in the matrix is set such that a standardized value expressed as a value obtained by dividing a complex relative permeability (μ″) of the electromagnetic wave absorber in a frequency band to be absorbed thereby by the volumetric ratio (V) is constant as far as the particle diameter of the powder used, as expressed by the D50 value, is within the range of 3 to 20 μm.
