Abstract Based on PIN diode and resistive film, a dual/single wideband switchable metamaterial absorber at low frequency is presented in this paper. Its absorption is over 90% from 0.8GHz to 1.5GHz and from 4.2GHz to 5.2GHz while the PIN diode operates in forward biased condition. On the contrary, with the PIN diode acting in reverse biased condition, the above 90% absorption occurs from 1.1GHz to 3.2GHz. The surface current distributions at the absorption frequencies are monitored to explain the reason of wideband absorption. The simulation results show that the absorption property of the metamaterial absorber is polarization-sensitive. The metamaterial absorber possesses the advantages of simple structure, wideband, dual/single band, and switchable performance.

We designed an ultra-thin dual-band metamaterial absorber by adjusting the side strips’ length of an H-shaped unit cell in the opposite direction to break the structural symmetry. The dual absorption peaks approximately 99.95% and 99.91% near the central resonance frequency of 4.72 THz and 5.0 THz were obtained, respectively. Meanwhile, a plasmon-induced transmission (PIT) like reflection window appears between the two absorption frequencies. In addition to theoretical explanations qualitatively, a multi-reflection interference theory is also investigated to prove the simulation results quantitatively. This work provides a way to obtain perfect dual-band absorption through an asymmetric metamaterial structure, and it may achieve potential applications in a variety of fields including filters, sensors, and some other functional metamaterial devices.

Resistive Type

A broadband and wide-angled microwave absorber based on resistive-type metamaterial has been proposed and demonstrated in the low-frequency regime of 2–8 GHz. The minimum reflection loss of the absorption peak located at 5.27 GHz is −51.41 dB. Effective bandwidth better than −10 dB reflection loss is able to achieve 2.70 GHz in the range from 3.81 GHz to 6.51 GHz. The underlying physical mechanisms of electromagnetic wave energy attenuation are illustrated in detail by means of surface current, electromagnetic field and power loss density. Furthermore, the influence of structural dimensions on the attenuation properties of the proposed resistive-type metamaterial absorber is also investigated. More importantly, the designed resistive-type metamaterial absorber could operate well with incident angles changing from 0[Formula: see text] to 60[Formula: see text] under the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Research results will be capable of providing guidance for the design and preparation of broadband microwave absorbing materials at low frequencies.

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.

In this paper, a compact reconfigurable tri-band/quad-band monopole antenna is presented. To achieve the multi-band behavior, two right-angled triangles were etched in a conventional rectangular patch, and a partial ground plane is used. Moreover, the proposed multi-band antenna is printed on a low cost FR4 epoxy with compact dimensions of 0.23[Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is calculated at the lowest resonance frequency. To provide frequency agility, a metal strip which acts as PIN diode was embedded in the frame of the modified patch. The tri-band/quad-band antenna performance in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, peak gain and efficiency was studied. The measured results are consistent with the simulated results for both cases. The simple structure and the compact size of the proposed antenna could make it a good candidate for multi-band wireless applications.

A broadband absorber composed of silicon rods and nickel ground is proposed in the visible band. The absorption above 98% can be obtained in the frequency range of [Formula: see text] THz with strong polarization independence and angle independence. The impedance matching theory and field distributions of eigenmodes are used to analyze the physical mechanism of the broadband absorption. The absorber has a simple structure with only two layers, which is composed of silicon and nickel. Nickel is a non-precious metal, which is cheaper than the precious metal materials commonly used in metamaterial absorber. The proposed cost-effective absorber with simple structure has great potential in the application of solar cells.

A new development of metamaterial applications in radar absorbers for X band is introduced. Two modifications were suggested based on two different approaches which are a new called fan shaped resonator absorber and a modified high impedance metamaterial absorber. Both approaches introduce thin radar absorber (5.3% at centre frequency) with wide bandwidth and high absorption level. The theoretical concepts of each design are explained and validated using full wave simulation. Results illustrate that the new development can achieve wider bandwidth, multiple operating bands; the increase in bandwidth is up to 8 times the conventional one. Moreover, the reported absorbers have capability to operate with different polarizations.
