Polarization-insensitive wide-angle multiband metamaterial absorber with a double-layer modified electric ring resonator array

In this letter, we report the design, demonstration and discussion of a multi- and broad- band metamaterial absorber (MMA) with wide angle polarization insensitive at microwave region. The MMA consisting of double layered electric ring resonator (ERR) with four fold rotational symmetry structure is used to realize a desirable absorption. Strong triple absorption peaks in 2∼8 GHz and broadband microwave absorption in 10∼18 GHz are demonstrated. The absorption can be reached as high as 0.73, 0.73 and 0.94 at 4.41, 5.15, 6.37 GHz, respectively. The multiband absorbing features originate from the synergetic effects of dipole resonance and Fabry-Perot interference between two or three metasurfaces. This design is of high practical for constructing broad band and multiband absorber for electromagnetic intereference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) applications.

Low frequency and broadband metamaterial absorber with cross arrays and a flaked iron powder magnetic composite

In this paper, we present a design, simulation and experimental measurement of a cross array metamaterial absorber (MMA) based on the flaked Carbonyl iron powder (CIP) filled rubber plate in the microwave regime. The metamaterial absorber is a layered structure consisting of multilayer periodic cross electric resonators, magnetic rubber plate and the ground metal plate. The MMA exhibits dual band absorbing property and the absorption can be tuned from 1∼8GHz in the same thickness depending on the dimension and position of the cross arrays. The obviously broadened absorbing band of the designed structure is a result of the synergistic effects of the electrical resonance of the cross arrays and intrinsic absorption of the magnetic layer. The polarization and oblique incident angle in TE and TM model are also investigated in detail to explore the absorbing mechanisms. The resonance current of the cross array can excite the enhanced local magnetic field and dielectric field which can promote the absorption. T...
