This article is devoted to the study of microwave-absorbing properties of Co-C coating applied by magnetron sputtering. This article presents the main results of the manufacturing of a Co-C coating by magnetron sputtering, and the evaluation of experimental and computational research data on the relationship between the structure and properties of the obtained films. The structure of Co-C systems has been modeled to control the resulting structures using X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural-phase state of the resulting thin-film Co-C systems and the microwave-absorbing properties of coatings were studied using the transmission line method, consisting of a vector network analyzer, an air coaxial line, a software program, and an external computer. It has been established that on the resulting Co-C film the reflection coefficient in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz varies in the range of 900 → 718 mU, with reflection losses of −0.86 → −2.57 dB, and a standing wave coefficient of 19 → 6.8. An analysis of the obtained data indicates the presence of losses of electromagnetic energy in the studied frequency range.
