Abstract

AbstractThis paper reports the design, development and characterization of a broadband, polarization insensitive metasurface absorber in planar, cylindrically bent and 90° dihedral surface geometry. Four metallic patches loaded with eight lumped resistors are used, which has been optimized numerically using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, as a unit cell of developed metasurface absorber, to achieve 20 dB reflection reduction for 51.21% fractional bandwidth (13.42–22.66 GHz) under normal incidence with 0.12 $${\lambda }_{L}$$ λ L thickness (where $${\lambda }_{L}$$ λ L corresponds to lower operating frequency). The numerical findings are also verified analytically using equivalent circuit analysis, which exhibits very good agreement. Polarization-insensitive characteristics are achieved using fourfold rotation symmetry of the designed structure. The fabricated prototype of the designed absorber is experimentally characterized, using free space measurement method and ABmm vector network analyzer (VNA) system, and fairly good agreement with numerical-analytical findings are reported. The major novelty of this study is the design and development of a broadband (13.42–22.66 GHz), polarization insensitive metasurface absorber that provides 20 dB reflection reduction numerically as well as experimentally in the whole band, which to the author’s knowledge has not been observed till now. Also, keeping in mind the radar stealth applications, first time we have demonstrated both numerically and experimentally, different geometrical shapes of conformal metasurfaces that can be practically used in actual scenario.
