Abstract

This paper proposes a lightweight frequency selective surface polarization-insensitive wideband metamaterial absorber in C band and X band that employs only a few resistive elements. The proposed absorber is embodied with four quadrature slotted inner circular patch, which is horizontally and vertically bisected, and outer concentric copper rings of 0.035 mm thickness are attached with four lumped resistors placed at 90° apart. A slotted inner circular patch provides significant inductive and capacitive loading. The absorption bandwidth of 8.02 GHz with more than 90% absorption is observed from 5.69 to 13.71 GHz under normal incidence and maintains almost same absorptivity range under oblique incidence up to 45° in both transverse electric mode and transverse magnetic mode. The designed metamaterial absorber is fabricated and measured using free space measurement technique. The actual experiments and the simulated ones are in good agreement.
