We present a simple method for enhancing the bandwidth and absorptivity of metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA)-formed disk resonators. Utilizing low-conductivity polymer and near-field coupling of multi-band resonances, a 6.8 GHz broadband MPA is achieved with absorption over 90%. The proposed MPA also shows polarization-independent absorption behavior. Furthermore, the structural design is useful for making broadband MPA and can be applied to higher frequencies with a simple configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
