In this manuscript, a multi-band and low-profile metamaterial absorber with polarisation independence from 00 to 450 is presented. The proposed metamaterial structure is composed of a single ring with a rectangular patch, consisting of periodic unit cells with a size of 150mm × 250mm × 1.5mm. The structure exhibits three absorption peaks under normal incidence, which cover the X-band. According to the results, the desired material can excellently absorb the electromagnetic wave signal, with an outstanding absorption rate of about 95% at the microwave x-band frequency. The proposed structure shows three absorption bands where two of them exceed 90% absorption level. The results displayed a high Q-factor of 103.5 at a resonance frequency of 8.58 GHz and the figure of merit (FOM) is 98.4, which can be used to enhance the sensor sensing, narrowband band filter and image sensing. The proposed structure is fabricated, and experiments are carried out to validate the design principle. Strong agreements are observed between the measured and the corresponding simulated results.

In this work, we present the analysis and design of a perfect metamaterial absorber (MA) based on quarter mode rectangular cavity in the terahertz region. This structure is consisted of a metal plate where three different size quarter mode rectangular cavities are vertically placed on. Based on rectangular-cavity-theory, a formula is proposed to calculate the resonant frequency, which provides a guidance for designing MAs of such type. In terms of normal incidence, the simulated results show that the MA has three resonance points on 4.1301 THz, 4.6051 THz and 5.1088 THz, respectively, which is in good agreement with the calculated results. Furthermore, we present the distribution of E-field in the cavity and use the standing wave theory to explain the physical mechanism of the perfect absorption. These results verify the application of resonant cavities in the field of MA.

<span>A metamaterial structure capable of operating as a wide band absorber as well as an AMC reflector is presented in this report. A microstrip patch copper was used as a switch to switch between the two modes. An FR4 substrate was used and the incidental wave angles were varied from 0<sup>0</sup> to 60<sup>0</sup>. Simulations results showed that the absorber was able achieve 96% absorption at 13.05 GHz and 100% absorption at 10.00 GHz and 12.00 GHz. Furthermore, it archived over 85% absorption for the entire X-band frequency range. The AMC reflector also was able to achieve 84.97%, 82.88% and 78.69% for incident angles 0<sup>0</sup>, 20<sup>0 </sup>and 40<sup>0</sup> respectively. Unfortunately, the structure is polarization sensitive.</span>

A low profile multi layer miniaturized unit cell frequency selective surface (FSS) with second-order band-pass response is design. The metallic layers in the form of capacitive patches and inductive grids are separated by dielectric substrates. The non-resonant sub-wavelength unit cells with unit cell dimensions and periodicities on the order of 0.15λ. The overall thickness of approximately 0.03λ is designed which is useful at lower frequencies with long wavelengths. The FSS exhibit a stable frequency response to different angles of incidence and polarizations. The analysis and synthesis of the FSS is done using equivalent circuit method and simulated using CST microwave studio at X-band.

This paper proposes a gain-enhanced metamaterial (MM) absorber-loaded monopole antenna that reduces both radar cross-section and back radiation. To demonstrate the proposed idea, we designed a wire monopole antenna and an MM absorber. The MM absorber comprised lumped elements of subwavelength unit cells and achieved 90% absorbance bandwidth from 2.42–2.65 GHz. For low-profile configurations, the MM absorber was loaded parallel to and 10 mm from the monopole antenna, corresponding to 0.09 λ0 at 2.7 GHz. The monopole antenna resonated at 2.7 GHz with a 3.71 dBi peak gain and 2.65 GHz and 6.46 dBi peak gain, before and after loading the MM absorber, respectively. Therefore, including the MM absorber increased peak gain by 2.7 dB and reduced back radiation by 15 dB. The proposed antenna radar cross-section was reduced by 2 dB compared with a monopole antenna with an artificial magnetic conductor.

AbstractAn ultrathin and flexible metamaterial absorber (MA) with triple absorption peaks is presented in this paper. The proposed absorber has been designed in such a way that three absorption peaks are located at 8.5, 13.5, and 17 GHz (X and Ku bands) with absorption of 99.9%, 99.5%, and 99.9%, respectively. The proposed structure is only 0.4 mm thick, which is approximately 1/88, 1/55, and 1/44 for the respective free space wavelengths of absorption frequency in various bands. The MA is also insensitive due to its symmetric geometry. In addition, the proposed structure exhibits minimum 86% absorption (TE incidence) within 60° angle of incidence. For TM incidence, the proposed absorber exhibits more than 99% absorptivity up to 60° incidence. Surface current and electric field distributions were investigated to analyze the mechanism governing absorption. Parameter analyses were performed for absorption optimization. Moreover, the performance of the MA was experimentally demonstrated in free space on a sample under test with 20 × 30 unit cells fabricated on a flexible dielectric. Under normal incidence, the fabricated MA exhibits near perfect absorption at each absorption peak for all polarization angles, and the experimental results were found to be consistent with simulation results. Due to its advantages of high-efficiency absorption over a broad range of incidence angles, the proposed absorber can be used in energy harvesting and electromagnetic shielding.

Abstract In this paper, a new metamaterial absorber (MA) is presented. The proposed absorber is a microwave structure constituted by a network of four split ring resonators (SRRs) of magnetic resonance and negative permeability (µ < 0); one resonator SRR central for triangular shape and three others resonators SRRs of the same square shape and the same dimensions. All resonators SRRs are printed on the upper surface of the FR4_Epoxy substrate (εr = 4.4; τgδ = 0.02), its dimensions are chosen to obtain the resonance in the X-band frequency. To eliminate the transmission, we add a copper conductive metal plate that will be etched on the upper face of the same substrate. The proposed MA is optimized for dimensions of (27.9 mm × 32 mm), its electromagnetic characteristics are studied for transverse electric (TE) polarization for different incidences and different inter-resonator spacing. The obtained results with the simulations performed by the high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) show that our metamaterial absorber still has three peaks of different absorptions estimated at a maximum on the order of 98.76%. The main advantage of this study based on the proposed structure is that it is possible to control its absorption percentage for X-band radar applications.
