A Metasurface Absorber with Broadband and Wide-angle Absorption Characteristics
A broadband,wide-angle metasurface absorber with horizontal and vertical metasurface structures is presented.Conventional metasurface absorber with wide-angle absorption characteristic for TE waves exhibits poor absorption stability under oblique TM waves.By employing vertical metasurface structure,the metasurface absorber provides wide-angle absorption stability under both oblique TE and TM waves.Its absorption band ranges from 2.40 to 5.06 GHz(relative bandwidth of 71.3%)under normal incidence,and from 3.04 to 5.06 GHz(fractional bandwidth of 49.9%)when the incidence angle is raised up to 60° for both TE and TM waves.The total thickness of the proposed metasurface absorber is 15.2 mm(0.126 λL),where λL is the wavelength at the lowest operation frequency.
