Abstract: This work presents the investigation of graphite and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) reflectance as an important parameter for electronic devices’ protection. These materials should protect electronic circuits against external as well as internal reflected radiation. The investigation was focused on comparing the reflectance of both materials on the metal layers. The measurements of constant electromagnetic parameters, such as permittivity and permeability, were carried out on pure materials without any additives, such as polystyrene foam, resin, wax, etc. The measurements were implemented in a coaxial line within the microwave frequency range from 100 MHz to 10 GHz. The measurements show a high value of reflected power, over 90% for graphite while RGO reflects only 80% of incident power. In addition, due to the half-wavelength effect in reduced graphene oxide, the reflection coefficient is reduced to 70%.
