摘要
We present the design of a planar metamaterial absorber based on lumped elements, which shows a wide-band polarization-insensitive and wide-angle strong absorption. This absorber consists of metal electric resonators, the dielectric substrate, the metal film and lumped elements. The simulated absorbances under two different loss conditions indicate that high absorbance in the absorption band is mainly due to lumped resistances. The simulated absorbances under three different load conditions indicate that the local resonance circuit (lumped resistance and capacitance) could boost up the resonance of the whole RLC circuit. The simulated voltage in lumped elements indicates that the transformation efficiency from electromagnetic energy to electric energy in the absorption band is high, and electric energy is subsequently consumed by lumped resistances. This absorber may have potential applications in many military fields.
