Radar is a technology that is always used by the military to detect an object because it can determine the shape, size, position, distance, and speed of an object. This enables the national defence system to have anti-radar technology to protect defence equipment or other important defence objects. One way that can be applied is using radar-absorbing material to coat the surface of the object. A good radar-absorbing material is made of a combination of dielectric materials with magnetic materials. MWCNT/ZnO composites were produced by a high energy milling method. The various milling times (0, 1, 3 and 5 h) using HEM on the microwave absorbing properties of the composites has an effect, which was studied. The experimental results show that the optimum microwave absorption ability is reached when the HEM process is carried out for 5 h with a thickness of 2.0 mm. The optimum return loss is −26.4 dB at a frequency of 11.2 GHz and the bandwidth correlative to the return loss is below −10 dB with a frequency greater than 1.5 GHz. When comparing MWCNT/ZnO without HEM treatment, the results show that HEM treatment can also increase microwave absorption properties.

Anti-radar technology is essential to reinforce countries defense capacity. Previous studies have shown how the combination of a resistive material with a magnetic one is a good option for the development of radar absorbing materials. Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/ZnO material with MWCNT percentage variations of 1, 3, 5, and 7% has been proposed as a promising material in anti-radar technology. ZnO that is used in the synthesis of MWCNT/ZnO material resulting from a hydrothermal method was prepared using ZnSO4 and Na2CO3 as precursors. X-ray diffractograms show hexagonal phases for both MWCNT and ZnO, in the latter case hexagonal wurtzite. SEM analysis shows micrometer sheets for ZnO. The VNA test in the X-band frequency range (8 − 12.5 GHz) provides the reflection loss values. Based on the reflection loss value, MWCNT/ZnO material has an optimum absorption value of electromagnetic waves with a percentage of 3% MWCNT at a frequency of 11.2 GHz with an RL value of −31.4535 dB and a percentage of 7% MWCNT at a frequency of 11.2 GHz with an RL value of −25.3897 dB.
