Description
Summary:This paper presents a model, design, and implementation of a metasurface electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber for operation in the frequency range of the X-band. The model of the metasurface was constructed with a split ring resonator (SSR) and a stripline and it was designed with a single unit cell, whereby the results were approached with transmission line theory for patch impedance extraction. Implementation of a metasurface EM wave absorber was deployed on an FR4 Epoxy dielectric substrate with dimensions of 80-unit cells  80-unit cells and characterized with two horn antennas, which were connected to a signal generator as the transmitter and a spectrum analyzer as the receiver. In front of the horn antennas a device under test (DUT) was installed, i.e., a metasurface EM wave absorber and a metal plate with similar dimensions. The metal plate was expected to perform full reflection at the same distance and antenna orientation. The same condition was used as a normalization factor to optimize the absorption of the metasurface EM wave absorber. The characterization results showed that the minimum normalized absorption of the SRR and stripline at the designated measurement distances was 0.99, 0.99, 0.99, and 0.97, at frequencies of 8.85 GHz, 9.08 GHz, 9.15 GHz, and 9.10 GHz, respectively, and a  antenna orientation.
