Abstract:
Objective To overcome the limitations of conventional wave-absorbing structures, a novel broadband, low-profile multilayer composite absorber was designed.
Method The proposed design integrates square loop resistive film units to significantly broaden the operational bandwidth and incorporates miniaturized conductor units based on lumped inductance loading. Structural parameters were further optimized to achieve broadband, low-profile wave-absorption, effectively lowering the minimum operational frequency.
Results Simulation results show that the developed composite absorber achieves over 90% electromagnetic wave absorption across the frequency range of 3.22 to 14.63 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 127.8% and a low profile height of just 0.068λL.
Conclusion The operational mechanism of the absorber is analyzed using an equivalent circuit model, and potential improvements are discussed. This design offers valuable insights and a solid reference for the development of broadband, low-profile absorbers. Future work will focus on replacing lumped inductors with metal meander-line structures to reduce processing complexity and costs.
