Özet

We report the design, characterization and experimental verification of a perfect metamaterial absorber (MA) based on rings and cross wires (RCWs) configurations that operate in the microwave regime. The suggested MA provides perfect absorption with incident angle and polarization independencies which can be used for various shielding applications. Maximum absorption rate is 99.9% at 2.76GHz for simulation and 99.4% at 2.82GHz for experiment, respectively. The experimental results of the fabricated prototype are in good agreement with the numerical simulations. We also present a numerical analysis in order to explain physical interpretation of MA mechanism in detail. Moreover, a sensor application of the proposed MA is introduced to show additional feature of the model. As a result, proposed MA enables myriad potential applications in S band radar and medical technologies. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
