Abstract
Abstract This study presents a new, ultra‐thin compact microwave metamaterial absorber for wideband applications. The proposed metamaterial absorber comprises an outer ring and inner split ring patches on the upper surface and metallic ground in the bottom surface. A dielectric FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm was placed between the top patch and the bottom ground. The designed structure was ultra‐thin of λ 0 /13.9 thickness with respect to the centre frequency of the bandwidth. The simulation results showed ultra‐wideband absorption of 6.31 GHz from 10.36 to 16.67 GHz above 85% absorptivity, and peaks at 11.1, 13.2, 14.4 ,and 16.2 GHz and full width half maximum of 9.6 GHz. The mechanism of absorption for the proposed ultra‐wideband metamaterial absorber was studied. Also, the polarization behavior was tested under oblique and normal angles of incidence for transverse electric polarization. Due to its asymmetrical design, the proposed structure is polarization sensitive. The designed structure was fabricated and measured, and the practical results were in good agreement with the simulation results.
