Abstract

In this paper, a square enclosed split-maze shaped metamaterial absorber is proposed for X and Ku band wireless applications. Two square metal enclosures were introduced around the split-maze structure to make it rotational symmetric and thus insensitive to cross-polarization. The proposed absorber has shown maximum absorptions at 9.33 GHz, 12.83 GHz, 13.86 GHz, and 15.61 GHz with single negative value of permittivity. The absorber is insensitive to the incident angle of applied EM waves for normal and oblique incidence up to 180 degrees. In addition, it was proved co- & cross-polarization insensitive due to the symmetric structure of the patch. A comprehensive equivalent circuit analysis was done to explain the fundamental EM behaviour of the metamaterial structure, and the circuit outputs coincided with the simulation results. Finally, the metamaterial was measured for both unit cell, and the array after fabrication and simulation results were validated. The proposed MMA is suitable for wireless applications in devices, especially for sensing, EM energy harvesting, EM coupling reduction, and antenna gain enhancement purposes.
