Abstract
In this article, a closed ring resonator-based absorber with eleven consecutive absorption peaks is proposed over X and K bands with an average absorption rate of 96.29%. The proposed design consists of circular ring resonators embedded in the circularly slotted square patch printed on the top of the grounded FR-4 substrate. The surface current distributions well illustrates the reason behind the electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption. The design is polarization insensitive for normal incidence and wide angular stable up to 45° for TE (60° for TM) polarization. The structure is fabricated on a single-layered FR-4 dielectric substrate with a periodicity of {{\boldsymbol{\lambda }}_{\boldsymbol{o}}}/2.32 and thickness of {{\boldsymbol{\lambda }}_{\boldsymbol{o}}}/16.74, where {{\boldsymbol{\lambda }}_{\boldsymbol{o}}} is the free-space wavelength at the lowest resonant frequency. A transmission line-based equivalent circuit model has been illustrated and good agreement is observed with full-wave simulations. This article's novelty lies in the absorption mechanism of eleven consecutive absorption peaks, demonstrating the controllability of the absorptivity peaks and resonant frequency. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the proposed absorber demonstrates the highest number of near-unity successive absorption bands with better angular stability. The proposed structure was checked for radar cross section reduction application with an X-band antenna and results show 19.7-dBsm reduction at normal incidence. © 1964-2012 IEEE.
