Abstract
Herein, a low-frequency broadband multilayer metamaterial absorber (MMA) based on resistive frequency selective surfaces (RFSSs) is proposed, which consists of a three-layer RFSS, three-layer polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam substrates, and a copper film. The proposed absorber has the advantages of ultra-broadband absorption with absorptivity more than 90% ranging from 1.91 to 20.78 GHz, which covers the entire S, C, X, and Ku bands with the thickness of ${0.102}\;\lambda {\rm L}$ (where $\lambda {\rm L}$ corresponds to the wavelength of the lowest operating frequency). The absorption performance can keep good stability in a wide angular range for both TE and TM modes. Moreover, a prototype of the proposed MMA is fabricated and experimentally measured to demonstrate its excellent performance. The experimental results show excellent consistency with numerical simulations.
