The simultaneous achievement of multiband absorption, polarisation-insensitive, and angularly stable absorber is a difficult job. Therefore, in this article, an efficient single-layered absorber is designed, critically analysed, fabricated, and experimentally validated. The proposed model incorporates eight sectors loaded a circle inside the square. The four discrete absorption peaks are observed at 4.4 GHz, 6.0 GHz, 14.1 GHz, and 16.0 GHz manifesting absorption intensities of 94%, 84%, 82%, and 92%, respectively. Parametric studies have been also exercised to investigate the influence of discrete geometrical design variables on the proposed absorber. The proposed structure is symmetrical in geometry, consequence in polarisation-independent behaviour. The absorption mechanism is also explained by analysing the surface current, electric field, and magnetic field distributions. Besides, the complex electromagnetic parameters are extracted to realise the absorption phenomenon. Additionally, to validate the simulated results, an optimal sample is fabricated and the measured response is well-matched with simulated ones.

A facile design of a novel triple-band electromagnetic metamaterial absorber (MMA) with polarization insensitive property is proposed in this paper. Each unit of the MMA consists of upper copper resonator and bottom copper plate with middle dielectric FR-4 between them. The MMA performs three absorption peaks at 16.919 GHz, 21.084 GHz and 25.266 GHz with absorption rates 99.90%, 97.76% and 99.18%, respectively. The influence of the main structural parameters on the frequencies and absorption rates is analyzed. The absorption mechanism of the absorber is explained by electric field, magnetic field and surface current distributions, which is supported by the electromagnetic parameters, affected with magnetic resonance. The polarization-insensitivity of TE wave is verified by observing the effects of the polarization angle change from 0-90º. The MMA can be applied in radiation, spectrum imaging detector, electromagnetic wave modulator, and so on.

A five-band metamaterial absorber (MMA) is presented. The proposed absorber consists of a three-layer structure of the top metal resonator, intermediate dielectric layer, and bottom metal plane. The top structure takes the centroid as the center and spreads out in a three-pronged shape with an average of 360°, and the ends bifurcate again. The calculation was carried out by the professional software to iteratively optimize the absorption effect of MMA in the microwave range. The results show that the MA has five peaks at resonant frequencies of 5.984 GHz, 12.232 GHz, 18.128 GHz, 18.414 GHz, and 20.592 GHz, with peaks of 0.9925, 0.9968, 0.9783, 0.9754, and 0.9975. By analyzing the electromagnetic field and surface current distribution of the absorber, the absorption mechanism is further verified, and the corresponding influence on the absorption spectrum is studied according to different polarization angles and incident angles. The effects of different resonator structure size and dielectric layer thickness on absorption rate were also discussed, and the distribution of electromagnetic fields is analyzed to reveal the existence of electric dipole resonance and magnetic resonance. Through comparing experiments and simulations, it is found that the peaks of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th have smaller absorption errors and frequency deviation, while the peaks of the 3rd and 4th have large ones. The five-band absorber has potential application in multiband electromagnetic stealth, bionic sensor, thermal radiation measuring instrument, and so on.

In this paper, we report a switchable ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber with polarization-insensitivity and wide-incident angle at THz band which is composed of VO2 disk, polyimide dielectric substrate, and gold ground plane. The results show that the absorption is greater than 90% from 3.5–8 THz for a temperature of 300 K and this absorption band disappears when the temperature rises to 350 K. The absorption property of our proposed metamaterial absorber is insensitive to polarization states and angles and it can withhold high absorption of more than 80% for wide-incident angles, up to 60° for TE mode and TM mode. The wideband absorption mechanism is elucidated using an effective medium and surface current analysis.

We presented and manufactured a triple-band terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorber with three concentric square ring metallic resonators, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer, and a metallic substrate. The simulation results demonstrate that the absorptivity of 99.5%, 86.4%, and 98.4% can be achieved at resonant frequency of 0.337, 0.496, and 0.718 THz, respectively. The experimental results show three distinct absorption peaks at 0.366, 0.512, and 0.751 THz, which is mostly agreement with the simulation. We analyzed the absorption mechanism from the distribution of electric and magnetic fields. The sensitivity of the three peaks of this triple-band absorber to the surrounding is 72, 103.5, 139.5 GHz/RIU, respectively. In addition, the absorber is polarization insensitive because of the symmetric configuration. The absorber can simultaneously exhibit high absorption effect at incident angles up to 60° for transverse electric (TE) polarization and 70° for transverse magnetic (TM) polarization. This presented terahertz metamaterial absorber with a triple-band absorption and easy fabrication can find important applications in biological sensing, THz imaging, filter and optical communication.

Abstract In this paper, a super-compact ultra-wideband (UWB) metamaterial absorber (MMA) is presented. The absorber design consists of an inverted L-shaped structure and a diagonal rectangular-shaped structure. The capacitive coupling between these two structures not only provides UWB nature but also provides a super-compact absorber design. The dimension of the unit cell arrangement is 5 × 5 mm2 and printed on a low-cost FR-4 substrate of thickness 1.54 mm (0.061λlowest). The design absorber provides more than 97% absorptivity from 12 to 21 GHz for normal incidence electromagnetic (EM) wave. However, the proposed MMA has a full width at half maximum absorption bandwidth of 11.71 GHz from 10.34 to 22.05 GHz. Moreover, the surface current distributions have been analyzed to understand the absorption mechanism of the MMA. The stability of the proposed design is validated with different incident angles (for TE and TM modes) and different polarization angles. Finally, the absorber design is fabricated and verified experimentally. Furthermore, the UWB frequency range, high absorption, ease in design and fabrication, and cost-effective make it suitable for different quality applications in stealth technology, thermal imaging, radar detection, antenna systems, and other EM devices.

Abstract Graphene has the capability of dynamically tuning its conductivity through gate voltage. Based on this fact, an electrically switchable wideband metamaterial absorber at low frequencies is presented and investigated in this paper. Our calculated results show that its absorption is over 90% from 400 to 1,000 MHz with the Fermi level of graphene being at 0 eV and the absorption band can be switched by adjusting the Fermi level of graphene without changing its physical structure. Moreover, the surface current distribution enables us to reveal the switchable wideband absorption characteristics of our designed metamaterial absorber. At last, we prove that its absorption property is polarization-insensitive due to the rotational symmetry of the structural unit. This work may provide a further step in the development of switchable sensors and absorbers at low frequencies.

Simulation Results

In this paper, a polarization-controlled and flexible metamaterial absorber made of a set of wires etched on ultrathin teflon dielectric substrate is proposed. The simulation results showed that the proposed absorber achieved single-band absorptivity of 99.8% at 6.64 GHz for the TM (transverse magnetic) polarization wave and penta-band absorptivity of more than 99% at 11.68 GHz, 13.58 GHz, 15.48 GHz, 17.38 GHz, and 19.28 GHz for the TE (transverse electric) polarization waves. Moreover, each absorption peak had very narrow relative bandwidth and the position of penta-band absorption peaks could be adjusted by changing the length of the corresponding wire or selecting suitable substrate material according to actual requirements, because each wire can independently respond to electromagnetic (EM) waves. Furthermore, the surface current distributions corresponding to each absorption peak were studied to demonstrate the absorption mechanism. The absorption properties of the proposed structure with different bending radii and under different incident angles of the EM waves were investigated, showing good flexibility and incident angle-insensitive properties. In addition, the simulation results were confirmed by measuring a fabricated prototype. The proposed absorber may have useful applications in polarizers, sensors, bolometers, polarization detectors, etc.

A dual-band microwave metamaterial absorber with single-peak regulation and wide-angle absorption has been proposed and illustrated. The designed metamaterial absorber is consisted of hollow-cross resonators, solid-cross resonators, dielectric substrate and metallic background plane. Strong absorption peak coefficients of 99.92% and 99.55% are achieved at 8.42 and 11.31 GHz, respectively, which is basically consistent with the experimental results. Surface current density and changing material properties are employed to illustrate the absorptive mechanism. More importantly, the proposed dual-band metamaterial absorber has the adjustable property of single absorption peak and could operate well at wide incidence angles for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Research results could provide and enrich instructive guidances for realizing a single-peak-regulation and wide-angle dual-band metamaterial absorber.
