Metamaterial absorbers realized in X-band rectangular waveguide

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/11/117801

Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate six types of metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) by measuring their absorptivities in an X-band (8-12 GHz) rectangular waveguide. Some of the MMAs have been demonstrated previously by using the free space measurement method, and the others are proposed firstly in this paper. The measured results show that all of the six MMAs exhibit high absorptivities above 98%, which have the similar absorbing characteristics comparing to those measured in the free space. The numerically obtained surface current densities for each MMA show that the absorbing mechanism is the same as that under the free space condition. Such a demonstration method is superior to the conventional free space measurement method due to the small-scale test samples required, the simple measure device, and the low cost. Most importantly, the proposed method opens a way to make the MMAs used in microwave applications such as the matched terminations.
