AbstractMetamaterial absorber (MMA) is now attracting significant interest due to its attractive applications, such as thermal detection, sound absorption, detection for explosive, military radar, wavelength detector, underwater sound absorption, and various sensor applications that are the vital part of the internet of things. This article proposes a modified square split ring resonator MMA for Ku-band sensing application, where the metamaterial structure is designed on FR-4 substrate material with a dielectric constant of 4.3 and loss tangent of 0.025. Perfect absorption is realized at 14.62 GHz and 16.30 GHz frequency bands, where peak absorption is about 99.99% for both frequency bands. The proposed structure shows 70% of the average absorption bandwidth of 420 MHz (14.42–14.84 GHz) and 480 MHz (16.06–16.54 GHz). The metamaterial property of the proposed structure is investigated for transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) and achieved negative permittivity, permeability, and refractive index property for each absorption frequency band at 0°, 45°, and 90° polarization angles. Interference theory is also investigated to verify the absorption properties. Moreover, the permittivity sensor application is investigated to verify the sensor performance of the proposed structure. Finally, a comparison with recent works is performed, which shows that the proposed MMA can be a good candidate for Ku-band perfect absorber and sensing applications.

In this paper, a dual-band metamaterial absorber (MMA) ring with a mirror reflexed C-shape is introduced for X and Ku band sensing applications. The proposed metamaterial consists of two square ring resonators and a mirror reflexed C-shape, which reveals two distinctive absorption bands in the electromagnetic wave spectrum. The mechanism of the two-band absorber particularly demonstrates two resonance frequencies and absorption was analyzed using a quasi-TEM field distribution. The absorption can be tunable by changing the size of the metallic ring in the frequency spectrum. Design and analysis of the proposed meta-absorber was performed using the finite-integration technique (FIT)-based CST microwave studio simulation software. Two specific absorption peaks value of 99.6% and 99.14% are achieved at 13.78 GHz and 15.3 GHz, respectively. The absorption results have been measured and compared with computational results. The proposed dual-band absorber has potential applications in sensing techniques for satellite communication and radar systems.

Abstract In this work, a perfect absorber based on a split ring resonator structure is proposed and numerically analyzed. The software CST STUDIO was employed to carry out the numerical analysis and the optimization of the proposed structure. The electromagnetic properties of the proposed metamaterial cell were analyzed in the first phase of this study demonstrating that such structure resonates at 2.4 GHz and 4.2 GHz simultaneously. In fact, this structure has negative permittivity and permeability in these two bands. The optimization process has led us to obtain a compact resonator, which has a total size of 15 mm × 15 mm. Subsequently, the capacity of this structure as an absorber of electromagnetic energy is analyzed. The obtained results reveal that this structure has absorption efficiencies of 98.2% and 99.7% for the first and second bands respectively. Also, other characteristic parameters were evaluated. This shows that the proposed structure has a high electrical performance and can be used for the collection of electromagnetic energy, which can be used to power wireless sensor networks.

A subwavelength metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) in optical communication band was proposed and tested using the finite-difference time-domain method. The absorber is periodic and comprises a top layer of diamond silicon surrounded by L-shaped silicon and a gold layer on the substrate. It can achieve dual-band perfect absorption, and one of the peaks is in the optical communication band. By changing the gap (g) between two adjacent pieces of L-shaped silicon, and the thickness (h) of the silicon layer, the resonance wavelength of absorption peak can be tuned. When the incident electromagnetic wave entered the absorber, the metamaterial absorber could almost completely consume the incident electromagnetic waves, thereby achieving more than 99% perfect absorption. The absorption peak reaches 99.986% at 1310 nm and 99.421% at 1550 nm. Moreover, the MPA exposed to different ambient refraction indexes can be applied as plasma sensors, and can achieve multi-channel absorption with high figure of merit (FOM*) value and refractive index (RI) sensitivity. The FOM* values at 1310 nm and 1550 nm are 6615 and 168, respectively, and both resonance peaks have highly RI sensitivity. The results confirm that the MPA is a dual-band, polarization-independent, wide-angle absorber and insensitive to incident angle. Thence it can be applied in the fields of optical communication, used as a light-wave filter and plasma sensor, and so on.

Abstract Graphene, as a new nano-material, according to the physical properties of electric field localization and selective absorption on light of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a tunable, multi-band and wide-angle perfect absorber based on crosshair-shaped graphene is devised by using the Finite Difference in Time Domain (FDTD) method. In this paper, the effects of chemical potential, relaxation time, and incident angle of light on the absorptivity of graphene are systematically discussed. The simulation experiment shows that there are two absorption peaks with perfect absorption rate appeared in the study range, and the maximum modulation index can be obtained by changing the relaxation time. Finally, it proves that the absorber is insensitive to wide-angle of light. Thus, it is able to be concluded that the absorber has a great reference value to sensor, wireless communication, biomedical and other fields.

In this manuscript, an antenna on textile (jeans) substrate is presented for the WLAN, C band and X/Ku band. This is a wearable textile antenna, which was formed on jeans fabric substrate to reduce surface-wave losses. The proposed antenna design consists of a patch and a defected ground. To energize the wearable textile antenna, a microstrip line feed technique is used in the design. The impedance band width of 23.37% (3.4–4.3 GHz), 56.48% (4.7–8.4 GHz) and 31.14% (10.3–14.1 GHz) frequency bands are observed, respectively. The axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 10.10% (4.7–5.2 GHz), 4.95% (5.9–6.2 GHz) and 10.44% (11.8–13.1 GHz) frequency bands are observed, respectively. A peak gain of 4.85 dBi is analyzed at 4.1-GHz frequency during the measurement. The SAR value was calculated to observe the radiation effect and it was found that its utmost SAR value is 1.8418 W/kg and 1.919 W/kg at 5.2/5.5-GHz frequencies, which is less than 2 W/kg of 10 gm tissue. The parametric study is performed for the validation of the proper functioning of the antenna.
