It is established that ordinarily the absorption curves of MPA for random incidence and that for normal incidence are quite alike, only that the absorption coefficients are more or less reduced and the whole curve is shifted to higher frequencies without any change of shape. But when the perforate constant k = d ωρ0/4η where d is the diameters of perforations in mm and f0, the absorbers resonance frequency is reduced below 2, say, secondary absorption bands start to play more important role. Pretty soon, they merge with the main absorption band and form a long tail of the latter,extending the absorption far into high frequencies, raising the resulting absorption band to three, four or more octaves.
