A Planar, Layered Ultra-wideband Metamaterial Absorber for Microwave Frequencies

In this paper, an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is designed and simulated. The proposed absorber is planar and low profile. It is made of a copper sheet coated with two dielectric layers. Each unit cell of the metamaterial structure is composed of multiple metallic split rings, which are patterned on the top and middle boundaries of the dielectrics. The designed absorber utilizes differe...

Perfect metamaterial absorber.

We present the design for an absorbing metamaterial (MM) with near unity absorbance A(omega). Our structure consists of two MM resonators that couple separately to electric and magnetic fields so as to absorb all incident radiation within a single unit cell layer. We fabricate, characterize, and analyze a MM absorber with a slightly lower predicted A(omega) of 96%. Unlike conventional absorbers...

Wide-Angle Polarization Independent Triple Band Absorber Based on Metamaterial Structure for Microwave Frequency Applications

This paper presents a wide-angle polarization independent triple-band absorber based on a metamaterial structure for microwave frequency applications. The designed absorber structure is the combination of two resonators (resonator-I and resonator-II). The proposed absorber is ultrathin in thickness (0.012λo at lowest resonance frequency and 0.027λo at highest resonance frequency). The proposed ...

Liquid crystal tunable metamaterial absorber.

We present an experimental demonstration of electronically tunable metamaterial absorbers in the terahertz regime. By incorporation of active liquid crystal into strategic locations within the metamaterial unit cell, we are able to modify the absorption by 30% at 2.62 THz, as well as tune the resonant absorption over 4% in bandwidth. Numerical full-wave simulations match well to experiments and...
