Specifies the measurement methods for the reflectivity of electromagnetic wave absorbers (EMA) for the normal incident, oblique incident and each polarized wave in the frequency range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz.

specifies the measurement methods for the reflectivity of electromagnetic wave absorbers (EMA) for the normal incident, oblique incident and each polarized wave in the frequency range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. In addition, these methods are also equally effective for the reflectivity measurement of other materials.
