High-frequency magnetic and attenuation properties of ferrite/polymer composites were investigated for undoped and V2O5 doped W-type barium ferrites, BaCoxZn2-xFe16O27, with x = 1.0, 1.3 and 1.5. The results show that, as compared to the undoped samples, the permeabilities mu'(0.5) and mu''(max) are increased by about 50% and 40% for composites doped with 1.0 wt% of V2O5, due to the improved domain wall permeability. These composites have superior attenuation properties over the undoped ones and are, therefore, potential candidates for EM attenuation materials with low reflectivity and broad bandwidth covering S, X and Ku bands.
