A wide band design method of an electromagnetic wave absorber using exponentially tapered ferrite, which has very wide band frequency characteristics, is proposed and discussed. The wide band electroma-gnetic wave absorber can be designed by the proposed equivalent material constants method for the re-gions varying spatially in the shape of ferrite. Futhermore, the wide band ferrite electromagnetic wave absorber with taper, which have not only exce-llent reflectivity frequency characteristics but also the band width of 30MHz to 2150 or 2450MHz under the tolerance limits of -20dB reflectivity, were designed.
