Abstract

In this paper, a new metamaterial absorber (MMA) has been presented that shows dual-band absorption at 1.8 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The MMA cell has been designed on an FR4 substrate with the electrical dimension of 0.14λ0 × 0.14λ0 × 0.01λ0, calculating wavelength, λ0 at 1.8 GHz. Maximum absorption of 98.7% and 99.7% are attained by a unique design of a resonating patch consisting of two modified circular rings that are finalized through numerical Simulation in CST microwave studio. The MMA exhibits high angular stability up to 60° for incident angle as well as polarization angle variations. The analogous equivalent circuit is modeled in advanced design system (ADS) software, providing the same reflection, transmission, and absorption characteristics of 3D Simulation in CST. The absorption mechanism is investigated through current and electromagnetic field analysis. The MMA exhibits negative permittivity within 1 GHz—1.8 GHz and 2.08 GHz – 3.49 GHz and negative permeability with other frequency ranges. The prototype of a 3 × 6 array of the MMA cell is developed, and measurement is accomplished. The measured result exhibits well match with the simulated result. Moreover, The MMA displays good shielding effectiveness of 40.12 dB and 36.81 dB at 1.8 GHz and 3.5 GHz, respectively. The quality factors of the MMA are 30 and 22.3, with half power bandwidth of 60 MHz and 157 MHz. This new and unique MMA can be incorporated with various electronic devices for microwave shielding from GSM 1.8 GHz and sub-6, 5G 3.5 GHz signals.
