This paper presents the analysis and design of a miniaturized polarization insensitive metamaterial absorber (MMA) for suppression of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) at microwave frequency range. The proposed MMA consists of a periodic array of double split ring structures printed on an FR4 substrate with a thickness of 0.07 λ 0. The simulated results derived from CST indicate that the absorption ratio of the MMA is over 90% with a wide frequency range from 8.3 GHz to 11.3 GHz for a normal incident electromagnetic (EM) wave. To understand the EM wave absorption mechanism, an equivalent circuit model of the MMA unit cell is constructed to investigate the absorbing characteristics, and the electric field and surface current distributions are analyzed at absorption peaks.. Both equivalent circuit model (ECM) and measured results show good agreement. What's more, the measurement data shows that the radiated electric field of the patch antenna at 1 meter is significantly reduced at 10 GHz while loading with the MMA. A maximum suppression of 18 dBµV/m is achieved at 10 GHz. As the proposed absorber possesses good ability on electromagnetic radiation absorption, it could be well applied on printed circuit board (PCB) level EMI suppression.

In this article, a novel electromagnetic bandgap structure is applied to a high-speed printed circuit board, where the proposed concept is to etch with traditional L-bridge and extended connecting branches on the power plane. To investigate the electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed structure, its transmission performance is determined including an equivalent circuit to numerically predict the lower cutoff frequency. A near field electromagnetic interference measurement is carried out compared to a reference board to investigate the simultaneous switching noise suppression ability.
