A Symmetric Plus-Shape Resonator Based Dual Band Perfect Metamaterial Absorber for Ku Band Wireless Applications

Abstract

In this article, introduce a metamaterial for microwave absorber applications based on a variant of the symmetric plus-shape resonator. This MA has two absorption peaks, making it suitable for Ku frequency band use. The MA unit cell built on a cheap FR4 substrate. The unit cell's resonator is designed in the form of a four-plus-shape with an eight-square-point in one of the corners, and its dimensions have been tweaked to achieve maximum absorption peaks of 99.04%, and 99.90% at 12.32 GHz, and 16.00 GHz, respectively. Analysing the surface current, electric and magnetic fields, permittivity, permeability, and normalised impedance provides insight into the nature of metamaterial and absorber. The incidence and polarization angle insensitivity of the suggested dual-band absorber allows for pretty much constant absorbance efficiency when the angle is changed. Moreover, for both TE mode and TM mode, the developed metamaterial absorber demonstrates near unity absorption for polarization and oblique incident angles up to 90°. These are single negative metamaterial qualities. The fact that the patch as a whole is rotationally symmetrical is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not it will retain its polarization-insensitive quality. Because of its outstanding insensitivity performance and nearly perfect absorption, it could be a good option for use in Ku band applications.
