Integrating periodic array structures made of metal wires or conductive inks into the foam core of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing sandwich panels can significantly improve broadband absorption performance. However, the complex fabrication process and poor corrosion resistance of these materials limit their practical applications. This work innovatively introduces magnetized carbon fiber (CF) into PMI foam, simultaneously achieving broadband absorption and lightweight characteristics of the sandwich structure through the design of array structure and fiber bundle geometry. Simulation analysis compared the EM absorption performance of sandwich panels with carbonyl iron powder (CIP)/CF tape and helical twisted CIP/CF rope corrugated arrays, determining the optimal array structure parameters, which were then experimentally validated. The experimental results align with the simulations, showing that CIP/CF rope corrugated arrays with an amplitude of 10 mm, a cycle length of 15 mm, and an array spacing of 15 mm provide optimal absorption performance, with a reflection loss below −10 dB across the 9–18 GHz frequency range and a maximum absorption of −33.9 dB at 17 GHz. Finally, the absorption mechanism of these sandwich structures is discussed, highlighting how the synergistic effects between the electromagnetic properties and structural morphology of CIP/CF enhance the absorption performance of the EM absorbing sandwich panel.
