The wave absorber composed of cylindrical bars arranged periodically and metallic mesh for improving visibility is proposed for ETC, and characteristics of reflectivity and shielding effect are evaluated analytically and experimentally. As a result, reflectivity of -10 dB and shielding effect of -25 dB are obtained for circularly polarized wave when the gap between cylindrical bars is 30 mm. Therefore, realization of proposed wave absorber for installing between ETC lanes can be clarified.

The wave absorber which is formed by arranging cylindrical bars periodically composed of magnetic loss material and metallic bars is proposed for improving ETC environment, and characteristics of reflection loss and shielding effect are analyzed and measured. As a result, the change of various characteristics can be confirmed quantitatively by changing the thickness of magnetic loss material covering around a metallic bar and the pitch interval between bars. Furthermore, it is clarified that reflection loss of -9 dB and shielding effect of -25 dB are obtained at 5.8 GHz when the covering thickness of material is 1.5 mm and the pitch interval is 16.0 mm. Therefore, the wave absorber formed by arranging cylindrical bars that satisfies various characteristics required for the improvement of ETC environment can be realized.
